Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The new equipment would improve student experience for making music in our M.A.D (Music, art & design) Academy. We're missing some equipment and some equipment is damaged. We are using a classroom chair instead of a drum throne. The cymbal stand we have doesn't fully lock and it slides down or won't fully support the weight of the crash cymbal. The hi hat stand pedal is slow because of rust. The bottom hoop of the rack tom has rusted and can't be added back on. The bass pedal is on it's last leg and will need to be replaced soon.

Thank you!

Mr. Jesse High School 560 - City as School Grades 9-12
