My Project

This project is for a case that will be used to transport our small accessory percussion to the PAC for rehearsals. Instruments are expensive, and we want to do everything we can to extend the lives of the things we have!

This case will help ensure that we have adequate protection for cymbals and and other small accessory percussion when we travel on busses to the high school performing arts center to rehearse for concerts!

Our students are incredible and work so hard to be young professionals! Our percussion students will be especially thankful that they have an easy way to pack and keep track of their equipment!
