My Students

Our school has a long and valued tradition in the performing arts. Our concerts and and musicals are always sold out with parents, students and community members. However the biggest obstacle we face every show is the quality of sound. It's been bad for so long it's become a running joke.

My students in my high school are wildly talented.

From our band and choir program to our theater and dance program we are fortunate to have such a strong performing arts department. Students in our community grow up going to see concerts and shows at my high school. They dream of joining the choir, playing in the jazz band and staring in a musical on stage. Because of this long tradition we've been able to cultivate a culture of high quality performances. The one thing that has been consistently missing from the program is a quality sound system (and lighting system) to support their talents. Despite poor quality microphones, fuzzy speakers and an aged sound board they still pour their hearts into their performances and the parents/community show up in droves. Simply put, my students deserve better than they have in the world of live sound equipment.

My Project

One of the best aspects of our performing arts department and my classes is that we emphasize student generated productions. My students are not just performers - they are amateur technicians as well. All of the tech crews for our shows both theatrical and musical are student run. The students set up the equipment and learn the ins and outs of how to use it. This feedback suppressor and graphic equalizer will give them new opportunities to expand their knowledge in sound design. The equipment in turn will provide better results for the productions. Every performing arts student deserves the right to present their best work - and right now they are not being allowed to be seen at their best.

Donations to this project will help us make significant upgrades to my students, the performing arts department and the student body as a whole.

With this equipment we can enhance the audio experience of every student, parent and community member who walks through our doors. My students will be able to put on even better performances and know that their efforts and talent are being showcased in the best possible way. Thank you for your support from all the students at my high school!
