My Project

Would you like to be a part of an award-winning musical group? You can if you choose to help us get our project funded. The Tunstall Trojan Vanguard, Tunstall Concert Ensemble, and Tunstall Concert Band are groups of musically talented middle and high school students who work hard to perform music year-round. This group of students puts in many hours of hard work to bring music to the masses. Our students play musical pieces that consistently score high marks, and we want to make sure that we are giving them every opportunity to share every note they play. Unfortunately, due to our low funds, and equally low-income area, we are not able to buy the equipment needed to take our music students to where they should be, competing and winning at the next level.

Over the years, musical programs have transformed into groups that must have electronic equipment to be heard by everyone in attendance.

If a musical group wants to be competitive, these small schools like ours have to try and have the equipment that larger schools can afford. By helping our music students, you would be a part of their award-winning marching band and concert band seasons. These music students find a healthy environment in being a part of a like-minded, hard-working, group of talented musicians like themselves. It is imperative that we are able to give our students this opportunity to express themselves through music, and by funding our project, you can help us do just that.
