Since the class has doubled in size, we need more instruments and equipment for more students to have the opportunity to learn! Currently, students are sharing instruments or rotating songs. With another guitar, microphone, and electronic drum set monitor, all students will have the chance to shine! These extra instruments and supplies will enable more students to participate and perform. The group of enthusiastic students also wants to take their hard work and practice on the road and have the opportunity to perform for others. This equipment will allow them to perform as a group and showcase their talents to the community. This will help students gain confidence and promote team work.
