My Project
These cymbals will replace our current set that are aging out and starting to deteriorate. They have been around a long time and have seen a lot of good use. To maintain quality sound within our jazz and rock groups, these cymbals would bring back the splash and pizzaz that cymbals bring to our performance.
The students I have are amazing musicians and people.
They stuck with music and performance through COVID and have worked with me in my first year and a half to rebuild the band and music program. They have stayed late to work on music and their instruments. They have helped me file music and do administrative tasks that have been neglected in the past so I can give them the best I can. Additionally, they have followed my lead in initiating new ideas. Where the school has not had a pep band for some time we have been able to start one. This has allowed the band to grow and excite younger students to join us when they are ready.
