My Project

Our Middle School is a title 1 school. We have limited funding and make do the best we can under difficult circumstances. We were so lucky to have our auditorium redone, but we are missing many resources to be able to use our theater to its full capacity.

This cyc will greatly impact every student who attends our Middle School and every student who WILL attend in the future.

With this backdrop (cyclorama), we can utilize our new lighting board in fun and creative ways for our performing arts concerts, graduation, assemblies, robotics presentation, shows, and more. The cyclorama can even be used to project images and videos. It's versatility will provide our students with endless possibilities. Furthermore, the cyclorama can be used year after year, event after event. All will greatly benefit.
