Help me give my students the band supplies that they need to be successful on their instruments!

My Project

Our school is launching a 6-8th grade concert band program! We expect around 50 excited and talented students to participate annually, playing traditional concert band instruments. Our school has an inventory of free-to-use instruments for students but still need a few supplies to tie up the loose ends. Additionally, materials such as reeds go quickly and always need replenishing.

These supplies will ensure that students are successful in their musical journey!

Band can be a life changing journey, and the benefits of music education are well documented. We are very excited about the idea of bringing it to our students at Carnegie. With your help, we will be off to a running start!
