Percussion students need proper mallets and sticks in order to make themselves and a band sound their best. Our band has grown to the point that we need more supplies to help them reach their best potential. We have grown from 8 percussionists to over 30 percussionists in our band classes over the past few years. While we are excited to be able to offer these wonderful students a musical education, our supply of mallets, drumsticks, and beaters are maxed out. Having these mallets, sticks, and beaters will help me to teach these deserving students how to become quality musicians. The demands of current band and percussion ensemble literature are such that percussionists are no longer those kids in the back of the room who beat on things. Having these mallets, sticks, and triangle beaters will help our students understand the color and nuance that is required of current percussion musicians.
