My Project

My band program has always unfortunately had to scramble for equipment and instruments. We have four high quality concert tom drums that we use for concerts, but no stands that hold the drums.

They have to be placed on rickety old stands that are better suited for other drums.

When we travel for festivals, set up takes far too long. The drums are all at different heights, resulting in an extra challenge for my students when we perform on them.

With two yamaha tom stands, my students would be able to perform more effectively and take better care of our equipment. Please help the BHS Band!
