My Project
Help Our Music Program Hit the Right Note with a Bari Sax!
Our music program is a creative home for students who thrive through rhythm, melody, and collaboration.
Our band is growing—and so are our ambitions! But we're missing a key voice in our ensemble: the rich, deep sound of a baritone saxophone.
A bari sax would unlock new musical possibilities for our students, helping us perform more advanced pieces and giving young musicians the opportunity to explore this unique and powerful instrument. Unfortunately, this instrument is well outside our budget.
With your help, we can give our students access to a professional-level baritone saxophone—something many of them would never get the chance to play otherwise. Your donation directly supports student creativity, confidence, and teamwork.
Thank you for helping us bring music to life—one low note at a time!
