My Project

After a couple years of no rock band club due to COVID-19, it's great to have students playing in the classroom again. I've changed about 10 sets of strings in the last few weeks, so it's time to replenish our supplies. Guitar cables don't last forever, either, so it's time to replace a couple that have failed. We're also going to start repairing cables with a soldiering iron, too, a first step toward more complicated repairs of guitars. Thanks to all of you out there who support so many projects at our school!
