My Project

This project is to help us set our new students up for success next fall! Organizational supplies like plastic sheet protectors to preserve music, fresh reeds, 3 ring pencil pouches to keep pencils in band binders, good, high quality pencils for marking music, and some percussion organization supplies will help keep our band room organized and students ready for class! With over 350 students in our band program, setting clear organization expectations from the beginning is paramount to our classes running smoothly and students being prepared. Thank you for considering supporting our amazing musicians!
