Bass Amp

Help me give my students a new bass amp and pedal for jazz!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Scarbrough's classroom raised $812

This project is fully funded

My Project

Jazz Band was happenin' man. It was cool, it was fun, it was swingin'. But then one terrible day our bass amp decided it wasn't with it anymore, and decided to take a nose dive. Everyone knows that a jazz band just can't function without a bass!

The jazz students are asking for a new bass amp and compressor pedal so that we can get swingin' again and make some music!

I have been teaching music for 10 years and never have a seen a group of students who want to learn and play jazz as much as these students. They're hungry for it, and with your help, we can feed those baby birds.

The mail goals for this project are to reestablish the Jazz Band from the bass to roof! Offering a jazz band once more will offer students a chance to learn a new style of music making, and hopefully develop a love for America's greatest contribution to the music world.
