Dallas was recently hit with a tornado and at Thomas Jefferson High School, we lost everything in a tornado. Even the equipment that looks salvageable is lost due to asbestos. We need instruments to be able to play again, learn tunes and perform concerts around the district. Instruments are needed to provide our students with a musical education so they can learn to perform, listen to other students play and learn to compose their own music. This is a small step to replace what we lost. We lost about sixty guitars, three drum kits and ten bass guitars. Anything that you can give would be appreciated.
