Hit It!

My students need snare, tenor, and bass drums. In most bands, the percussion section is the most popular and is used in recruitment efforts to gain interest in band.

My Students

Daily, I face eager percussion students about acquiring instruments for them play. By years end I want my students to have a foundation in basic music theory and be able to apply it in their playing. The challenge is some students don't have instruments. - "Never, never, never give up".

My students are resilient young people who deal with a reality inside their community that most people aren't built to endure.

They are thorough, courageous and passionate students. Our school has a fresh progressive administration that is not only successfully changing the perception of this community but also redirecting the school culture into a much more positive one.

My Project

My students need snare, tenor, and bass drums. These resources would be used for student involvement in the school and community events such as parades and field shows for our marching band ensemble. Students will gain proficiency at playing percussion rudiments and applying the theory into creating original percussion cadences. These very eager students will have the opportunity to showcase their newly discovered talents, which outside of their core curriculum classes, they aren’t provided many opportunities to do so.

There are myriad advantages of being apart of a functioning arts program like band; These donations will help instill vital core values into the lives of our students.

Similar to my own experiences, the availability of these instruments will help to inspire students who lack enthusiasm to be empowered true seekers of their education. Awarding our students instruments will give them reason to invest their time and efforts into themselves in a constructive environment.
