My Project

Our current sound system consists of donated products dating to the 1980s. It has served its time and is on its last leg. One speaker no longer works and the one we currently use has technical issues with the bass settings. Students in the band classroom utilize listening throughout their daily instruction. Without proper equipment, the full range of sound and its efficacy diminishes the listening exercises we use for ear training and rehearsal. These upgrades will enhance the learning experience through quality audio examples, speech, and electronic instruments. These upgrades are also portable for needs such as outside projection or other concert needs!
