My Project

For the first time, our band program will be starting EIGHTY beginning band students!! It is by far the largest sixth grade class we have ever had. The method book is the biggest source of information for our kids. It is like their instruction manual for band.

Roughly ninety-five percent of my kids cannot afford the basics for band, which includes their instrument, books, reeds, valve oil, and other essentials needed for band.

Thank you for supporting our band program by giving them method books to teach them the basics of their instrument and all of our students. I know that they appreciate your generosity, and I certainly do!!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
