Brass Revival: Fixing Our Band's Trumpets

Help me give my students repairs needed to restore trumpets for student musicians

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Iezzi's classroom raised $602

This project is fully funded

My Project

Having working trumpets will make a huge difference in our middle school band. Right now, some of our trumpets have broken valves, leaks, broken brackets, and bent lead pipes, making it nearly impossible for students to play these instruments, so they sit and collect dust until we can afford to fix them. If we were to give an instrument that doesn't work to a student, the student would get frustrated, lose confidence, and struggle to stay engaged.

By repairing these trumpets, we ensure that every student has a fair chance to learn and improve.

My students are incredibly hardworking, dedicated, and full of potential. They show up every day ready to learn, and they deserve instruments that allow them to play their best and feel proud.

I truly believe I have the best band in town because of the passion and determination my students bring to every rehearsal. With your help, we can keep our music strong and give these young musicians the tools they need to succeed!
