My Project

Our High School band program received superior ratings in all areas last year and we need your help to continue on our path to success.

Our percussion section desperately needs new sticks and heads for our marching band.

All of our current tenor heads are completely worn out and most of the sticks and mallets we are using have already been used for at least 1 football season. This order will get new sticks and/or heads for all players and a few back ups for emergencies. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!
