There Is No I In Band

My students need more music stands! There are 95 students in my middle school band and we only have 25 working music stands. The math says it all!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lord's classroom raised $280

This project is fully funded

My Students

As much as I encourage our band to act as teammates and to support each other, I don't think 4 students to 1 music stand is what I meant! Help us build up our inventory of music stands.

Within our middle school there is a smaller academy consisting of about 100 students called the 'Goddard Scholars'.

This is my band. These students are college-bound and amaze me every day with how hard working and talented they are! They dive right in to every challenge presented to them with determination and a smile on their face - a constant inspiration!

My Project

The Manhasset stands are quality music stands that will last for many years! These are lightweight metal music stands that are sturdy - never tipsy and adjustable in height and angle. They are versatile! We can use them as music stands, but if you tip them back, they become great desks to write on! After all that, they also look great on stage! What more can you ask for??

The stress of not being able to see your music properly should not be something a beginning band student needs to worry about.

The addition of these stands to our program will help our kids practice and perform better! Please help us build our music stand inventory with quality products.
