Standing Up for Music Stands!

My Students

Music charms the soul and performing music brings many unique experiences to the musicians in the Manton Bands! So many student musicians are participating in the bands that we need more music stands to keep performing as a full ensembles.

There are many great band programs in Michigan and our students are certainly living up to that reputation.

Growing up in small businesses and on farms, our students have learned the value of hard work, dedication, and perseverance from an early age. While putting forth great effort, they also bring a fun attitude and create an exciting atmosphere at our many performances each year!

My Project

We currently only have 1 stand for every 4 students in our quickly growing program. By providing these 24 stands, each student will be able to have their music close enough to read and therefore perform to their highest level. Our student musicians will use these stands in formal concert settings, at basketball games, at outdoor Memorial Day services and ceremonies, and even concerts in the park!

The Bands frequently perform for our community and serve as ambassadors for our school.

Student musicians act and perform professionally and by supporting this project you will help them to look professional, too!
