Back in 2012, the OSSD moved the 6th grade into an Upper Elementary, splitting our band program across district to make for a total of three separate programs. Since then, we've been constantly working to make sure each school has the proper equipment to make band happen - from ordering metronomes for each class, dividing a limited instrument inventory across two schools, and making sure we have enough chairs to accommodate over 700 students 6-12th grade. For now we're trying to add a few more metronomes, sound-proofing materials for our classrooms, and a class set of advanced method books for our thriving musicians! We need your support to help get basic supplies like sound-proofing materials, metronomes, and textbooks into our classrooms! We are busting at the seams with students in both the UE and the MS band programs, and we need all the help make sure these students get the support they need! Most of our rehearsal spaces are basic classrooms - no soundproofing what-so-ever! You can imagine, it gets pretty loud. The rest of our project is basic supplies for our bands as they advance and show need to expand into more rehearsal spaces to accommodate the large class sizes! Your support is greatly appreciated by over 400 students and their families who make Ocean Springs Bands ROCK!
