My students have asked if our band could be more involved in the community and local areas. With this being said, they want to start performing at marching band competitions and other festivals and events. But with the limited amount of students and equipment, finding instruments to cover each part to create a full ensemble is tricky. Adding a drum set would allow for one percussionist to cover a multitude of parts at once. Having this drum set in the music classroom also opens up to a world of other ensembles that can benefit from it. The students are wanting to start a jazz band and other small ensembles that would use this drum set as a key part in their performances. With the addition of this drum set, my hope is that each student can have a well rounded musical education and find interests they may never have known before!
