This teacher needs your help!

Mr. Thibodeaux from Phoenix, AZ is requesting musical instruments through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Bringing Band to the Next Level!

Help me give my students the needed accessories to have a fulfilling instrumental music experience.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Thibodeaux's classroom raised $4,110

This project is fully funded

My Project

The items requested will help fulfill the need for my students to have all the necessary tools needed for their instruments in the instrumental music program. For example items like reeds, mallets, violin and percussion equipment. The xylophone, most importantly, will be the school's first large mallet instrument!

The goal is for the students to not have the further financial burden of purchasing more items to succeed and to perform at the highest level without compromise.

What makes these students so special is their excitement and desire to play music with the peers. They are beyond excited!
