My junior high choir program is made up 6th-8h grade students. Many of these students are a part of of 4-5 different performance choir's in our school. These choirs perform at different locations both in and outside the community. These students perform in many different locations and in many different situations. As a teacher, I stress for students to perform to the best of their ability. These students really enjoy performing for all different types of audiences.

These students are told to perform to the best of their ability. However, this is difficult to accomplish if students cannot be heard while they are performing. Some of the large places these performing students perform do not have sound equipment or a piano to help with their performance. This makes it very difficult for students to perform to the best of their ability.

The only resource that is needed and is easy to transport to various locations is a portable sound system. A portable sound system helps the entire group and soloists to be heard during their performance. This ensures a quality performance that both the students can deliver and the audience can enjoy.

Your help ensures that my students can deliver a quality performance at all times. Even in the most difficult situations students will be heard and can feel confident that they can deliver their absolute best performance.
