We simply need instruments to use in the percussion section!
This is our first year as a band program.
The students have all been very eager and excited for this new and incredible opportunity this year. Unfortunately, the band was not given any money for instruments. All of the students in this program are either renting, borrowing, or have purchased an instrument.
My Project
I'm not asking for much. It's good to sometimes start small and grow from there. I have huge dreams for this band program's future. All we need is one percussion instrument to get us started on our musical journey. As time goes by, we will continue adding to our instrument collection.
I want to provide the best possible education and experience for all of my students.
My students are all very grateful for everything we have since we have so little. The addition of just one instrument to our band program will make the biggest difference in their lives.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
