In just a few short weeks music will once resonate throughout the MS 158 basement hallway. As we prepare to make music together, we are in need of some basic supplies to help maintain our aging inventory of instruments. Valve and rotor oil will make our brass instruments more responsive and cork grease is needed regularly by our clarinet and saxophone students. The practice pads and bell kits will allow more of our percussionists the opportunity to practice at home.
With the eradication of COVID funding, the MS 158 band program has incurred tremendous budget cuts.
With increasing numbers of students in our band classes, funding from donors like you has become a major lifeline for our program. My students are passionate about music and their exuberance makes each day rewarding. Thank you in advance for supporting our band community!
More than half of students from low‑income households
