My Project

Our ensembles frequently travel in order to perform and compete. When this happens, my percussion players are required to carry their equipment with them. However, we are currently not in possession of bongo cases or floor tom cases. Moving this type of equipment by hand without cases is difficult, especially when we travel long distances.

Bongo and floor tom cases would make transporting our percussion equipment less difficult.

These cases would be greatly beneficial to my percussion players, who will have an easier time transporting their equipment and will ensure that they spend more time focusing on their performances, rather than stressing about misplacing their equipment. We are excited to use these cases the next time our ensembles perform!
