FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Vessichio's classroom raised $745

My Project
As our program is comprised of young musicians in grades 5-8, we have a myriad of experience levels performing together in our ensemble.
Our musical selections at BRAMS often incorporate a wide variety of auxiliary percussion instruments.
Being able to incorporate these additional Conga and Bongo drums adds texture and a level of professionalism and maturity to our ensemble’s sound.
As our percussion section develops its abilities on auxiliary percussion, it will also allow us to program more multicultural musical selections as well, opening our instrumental music students to a whole new, and important genre of music.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
