My Project

The items requested in this project will serve our nine grade levels during our general music classes, as well as our two after school, extra-curricular bands. We needs drum heads, and cymbal accessories to keep our instruments sounding good, and pics and capos for our guitars. We need some cleaning items (floor cleaner and vacuum) because we are in the basment of a one hundred year old building that gets filthy, and our room doesn't receive the attention that it should. We are also requesting some kids books that will be included in our general music curriculum.
