Case Studies! (Instrument Cases)

Help me give my students new instrument cases to help protect their instruments!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. DeLargy's classroom raised $769

This project is fully funded

My Project

We want to protect our instruments and make sure that students can SAFELY transport them to and from school. New instrument cases would give us the opportunity to loan out more instruments and allow more students to participate in band as well as allow them to take them home to practice!

My students need and want to practice but several of our instruments can not go home due to the poor condition of the instrument cases.

We have a few instruments in our inventory that are in great condition but cannot be used simply because the cases are so damaged that they are unable to be moved and therefore have been sitting on a shelf instead of in the hands of eager band students!

My students are super eager to learn and absolutely LOVE band!
