Help me give my students a new euphonium to replace one that is in disrepair.

My Project
My band students are amongst the hardest working kids in the school. Due to our current schedule, they give up study halls, and even regular lunch with their friends just to participate in the band program. Many of them are performing on extremely old and poor-working instruments, but still do it without complaining. Our school has only one euphonium (a low brass instrument, similar to a tuba, but smaller) and it is in such poor condition that my students struggle just to get it to operate, taking up valuable class time. Also, the case is almost completely destroyed and is being kept closed by an old belt of mine.
I believe my students deserve better, but due to a current spending freeze in our district, there's no hope of replacement.
I thank you for considering giving to this project, it will make a big difference in our program.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
