My Project

This are some essential items that help our band run. We have reeds for our woodwind players. We keep extra reeds for students in need or for emergencies. We are asking for a timpani head to replace the one that was broken over the summer. We also have random instrument care items to make sure everyone is using the best quality equipment. We are also asking for some new music that we can learn next year.

We appreciate you taking the time to look at this project and donate to our band program!

This are the things that help us stay up and running.
