My Project

The band room supplies always go through their usual wear and tear, so for this project, I decided to get some everyday supplies that we need around the band room and I included a new set of bar chimes and stand to go along with it.

Our band room will usually see supplies come and go over the years, but some supplies need regular replacement, and those can rack up the cost that our usual fundraisers need to cover.

Right now, the actual instruments we need are too expensive to put on a DonorsChoose project, and our regular fundraised dollars are being allocated for those large items that we really need.

With this project, we hope to offset the cost of regular band room supplies and focus our larger fundraisers on the larger instruments and equipment we still need for the band program.
