Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
The OMS Band is in need of new percussion equipment. With a new array of mallets, timpani heads, crash cymbals, and a jazz drum-set, our percussionists will be all set to create music at the same high caliber as their brass and woodwind peers.
In the past decade, only a handful of mallets have been purchased for our percussion students, leaving our most recent students with mismatched pairs that just don't sound great and are hard to work with.
New mallets will allow all of our students to participate to the best of their ability.
Our timpani are beautiful, but older. With new heads, they will sound as good as new! And when you've got timpani that sound great, it really beefs up the rest of the band's tone.
A jazz drum-set will allow our percussionists to not only learn how to play drum-set, but give them the ability to play more responsive to the stylistic demands of the genre.
