After taking over the band and orchestra programs this year, I discovered that the cases we had for our drum line were either falling apart or were too small to fit the newer drums that were purchased by my predecessor. Our largest bass drum doesn't even have a case! We cannot safely and effectively store or transport all our drums without the correct cases. With your help, we can provide these much needed cases for our program that will allow students to use our drum line instruments for years to come. Most high school band programs would consider these items to be "standard issue" that everyone should have. Without cases, we run the risk of damaging our instruments every time we travel- whether for a competition or to play for our sports teams. Help us reach our goal!
