My Project

Help our high school get ready for Marching Season! Our high school has recently rebuilt their band program. This being said the Band is in desperate need of some necessary equipment to be a capable marching band. The Drum Line is a very dedicated group of students and were hoping to be able to March in the much coveted Mardi Gras Season. They are in need of specific drum equipment to make this dream a reality! Please help my students feel equal to other Louisiana Schools by helping them perform at Mardi Gras!
