My Students

We are Crosby Middle School located in the heart of Middletown. Our school slogan is "A Great Place to Learn".

Our students are some of the hardest working students I know.

They come to school with an excitement to learn and grow as a person. We currently serve over 1,300 students! The band program is right under 200 students this year. We have a positive environment established and a passion to do great things.

My Project

The materials requested will enhance our visual/audio experience for our viewers across the world. Our previous Donors Choose Projects have been successful on many levels. Having had a couple concert seasons to go through we know now what materials will enhance our live performances. With these materials we will be able to stream quality video/audio for all viewers worldwide. The materials we have requested are: 1.) New iPad for multi cam experiences 2.) Tri Pod to position iPad Camera 3.) Yeti Microphone for quality audio 4.) USB extension cord for computer plug in

Our students have already invested a lot of time through our YouTube channel (which was our first Donor's Choose project).

The impact we have had through this, has increased our performance ability level dramatically. By funding this project, we can enhance our viewing/listening ability to our students, parents and future band members for years to come.
