My Project

Our small band has been creating wonderful music for our school for over 15 years. Throughout the years, we been able to enjoy much success on a shoe string budget, and provide an experience similar to larger school band programs. Unfortunately, one thing we have not been able to do is to acquire a tuba due to the lack of funding. Having a tuba in the band will propel our program to the next level. With your help, we can truly bring the bass to our melody.
