My Project

Middle school is difficult. Students are definitely not babies, but many not quite teens. Their bodies are growing and changing, their hormones are all over the place. They want to please their families, but approval from their peers means everything.

Our band students are great!

They recently scored high marks in our district adjudication and it seems likely that their upcoming Spring concert will be amazing. These students have to work together and be committed to practing to sound like a band. They have put in the time and effort. This project will help them look more like a cohensive group, but also be fun. We appreciate your support!
