My Project

I am continually inspired by my students’ dedication and enthusiasm, especially as we’ve embraced regular outdoor performances as a key part of our program. These performances demand instruments that can project sound effectively while maintaining excellent tone quality, making a marching baritone essential for our success.

This new marching baritone that I am requesting will help my students achieve the rich, resonant sound needed to excel in these environments, allowing them to perform confidently and connect with our audiences.

My goal for this project is to ensure that eventually every student is equipped with the right tools to meet the unique challenges of outdoor performances while continuing to grow as musicians. What makes my students special is their unwavering commitment to their craft and their ability to rise to new challenges with enthusiasm, teamwork, and pride in their music.
