My Project

Our choir students come to class each day full of energy, passion, and the desire to grow musically. To help them stay focused and organized, we are in need of basic yet essential supplies: folders, pencils, and pencil pouches.

In choir, students need to keep track of multiple pieces of music, take notes during rehearsals, and mark important changes in their scores.

With dedicated music folders, students will be able to keep their sheet music neat, accessible, and protected. Pencils are critical tools for every rehearsal—used constantly to mark rhythms, dynamics, and pronunciation cues. To prevent losing or misplacing them, students will also receive personal pencil pouches to keep everything in one place.

These simple tools will make a big difference in helping our singers stay organized, responsible, and ready to rehearse. With your support, we can set our students up for success and give them the structure they need to focus on what really matters: making beautiful music together.

Thank you for supporting our growing choir program!
