Each member of my band class deserves to be successful, and that success begins with a working instrument. The band program at our high school serves students in grades 9-12. There are approximately 60 students that participate in the band program every year. We are located in a small rural town that has suffered a major recession due to the closing of a major trucking company and several factories. There is a large number of economically disadvantaged students that are active participants in our band program.

Many members of our high school band cannot afford to purchase their own instruments, thus they rely on school-owned instruments to supplement their success in band. Currently, our school district does not provide adequate funding for student instruments. Thus the band programs are on their own to find funds to provide instruments for students who cannot afford them.

Our band program simply needs new instruments to provide to students who are in need. We have started small by asking for a clarinet and a flute, and would like to continue to supplement the band program with new instruments until our instrument closet is fully stocked.

Your help will ensure that my students will have instruments to supplement their success in band for many years to come!
