Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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.

My Project

Beginning band students go through reeds so fast! At times I'm not even sure how they do it! At this point if the year, I am trying to restock so that I don't have to worry about running out, or having to have myself and students pay for them if that is the case.

We have our end of the year performances right around the corner and we need to be REEDy to be our best!

With new reeds for our woodwinds and valve oil for our trumpets, our scholars will be good as new and be their best for our spring performances!
