Amplifying Young Voices

Help me give my students a quality portable wireless speaker for chorus rehearsals!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Salviati's classroom raised $478

This project is fully funded

My Project

The students of Vansville Voices and Vansville Sings choruses are starting their fourth year. Over the past four years the groups have doubled in size and will continue to grow not only in size but musically.

In order to accommodate the groups size we often need to move our rehearsals to different places in our school building where there often is not a speaker system.

This portable speaker will make setting up rehearsal in different spaces much easier and efficient. Students will be able to hear their music tracks clearly and loudly, giving them the confidence to belt their voices. A quality portable speaker sound system will not only provide flexibility and convenience, it will enhance our performances.

In addition to being used for our elementary school choruses to rehearse, our school will be able to use this speaker for special events. Our entire student body and staff will be able to benefit from having a speaker that can be used anywhere inside and outside of our building.
