My Students

My band students at MRHS have been the definition of fighting through adversity. Since the school opened the doors in 2019 we have fought through the growing pains that come with creating an identity for a brand new school and program, while also navigating the difficulties of COVID. Our school has been open for 3 years, and not one of them has been a “traditional” or “normal” school year. Nevertheless, these students have been able to achieve excellence, and more than double the size of our program.

The band students at MRHS know what it means to own their success, and create the experiences they want to have.

My Project

Nowadays, technology and music performance go hand-in-hand. From live performance situations to needing to create high quality recording, and live stream feeds due to COVID, our student musicians are in constant tandem with modern technology. With this new technology we are requesting, an Apple Mac mini and monitor, we will be able to better serve our student musicians, by giving them the high quality equipment to help them continue to grow and develop as musicians in performances, at school, virtually, and at home.

Technology isn’t going anywhere, and today’s student musicians need all the support they can get to utilize technology while striving for musical excellence.
