My Students
Our school is in a southwest suburb of Salt Lake City. It's a large middle school (about 1200 students) and has rigorous academic standards. The students who go to the school are creative, enthusiastic, and are good students in general.
Our school makes the arts a priority and has set up a system where most of the students in the school can participate in music, theater, art, and dance.
This focus on a well-rounded education has resulted in quality preparation for high school and high participation in extra-curricular and advanced classes. Students in our school also attend college at higher-than-average levels.
My Project
Our band program is large and successful. Our classroom was not built anticipating the program's incredible success - it's too small. Every square inch of space needs to be used effectively, and right now the students have to line up the 65+ music stands in the back of the room at the end of every rehearsal. This takes up precious floor space, which constricts their ability to move around the classroom while still protecting instruments, and takes up class time as they wait for the students in front of them to clear out so they can put their stand away.
The addition of music stand racks to the room would allow the students to access the music stands quicker (saving valuable class time), would create a more balanced and orderly classroom, and would allow the percussionists space to move freely around the classroom during rehearsal.
