My Project

Your previous generosity brought our school a beautiful electric guitar to play during our Pep Rallies and sporting events. Now we are in the process of pairing up that nice Fender Squire guitar with its very own Fender guitar amplifier.

The amp will bring a significant boost in quality and volume to our performances for Pep Band and Concert Band.

Fender Champion amps offer a very versatile array of amplifier settings and effects so we don't need to fumble around with stomp pedals or any external means for getting our gear to sound good. It's all just built in - plug and play! Thank you for getting this far, we appreciate every little thing you do, its effects are magnified so much for our school system!!
