My Project

This project will purchase five new pairs of marching bass drum mallets.

The mallets we currently have are splintering and are about to break from years of use.

This will provide my students with new marching mallets to use during the fall and spring seasons next year. Our current set of bass drum mallets are wearing out and really close to breaking. Definitely beyond their usable/ reasonable lifespan. Some are splintering in places. ProMark are wonderful and reliably durable mallets and will easily last many years. Thank you for taking a look at my classroom and supporting my vision for a fully equipped music classroom.
