My Project

This speaker would really help my cheerleaders be able to practice almost anywhere! We do not have the resources to use certain areas of the building all the time. So, this speaker will allow my cheerleaders to practice without the restrictions of not be able to hear the music. The pandemic cause a lot of my cheerleaders to be at home, so cheer is a chance for them to be apart of something fun and engaging. Especially, since we were apart for so long. I know cheer keeps a lot of them out of trouble and keep their grades up, it gives them a reward for doing their very best. Also practices and performances would be much better with the aid of this speaker. This speaker will be used for games, pep rallies, practice and other events. They are super excited about this school year. This speaker will make them even more excited about school and cheer!!!
