My Project

Running a marching band in the Pacific Northwest is a lot of fun, but sometimes it can get wet. Rain can damage expensive sound equipment and make students cold and miserable. With these purchases, we are hoping to protect our expensive sound equipment from inclement weather and keep our students' hands warm on cold mornings with gloves, which we can tuck hand warmers into.

Our marching ensemble grows larger each year, and we are hoping to continue that trend by supporting our incredible students.

They are dedicated, hard-working, and kind people who deserve the best equipment and environment we can give them.

Thank you for your support!
