Mr. D. Girard High School
Girard, PA Grades 9-12

Percussion students are not receiving the full experience of music making. Grades 5-12, high-need program.

We currently only have one set of Toms in the entire district so students have to practice on pads, when the toms are not available. Many percussion students are sitting for over half of the class because there aren't enough instruments to play.

Students will now have 4 extra drums to play which will give four more students an opportunity to participate. We will be able to do harder level music and complete it successfully.

Your help will ensure that more students get to participate, and that they get to experience all that a percussionist at the professional level does, which may inspire a student to become a life-long percussionist.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
