Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Every year, our ensembles travel to different locations for performances or competitions, both at local and, occasionally, national events. Some of my students are members of multiple ensembles, and as such, are required to bring multiple instruments depending on what is needed. However, carrying multiple instruments can be very difficult and tiring, especially for events that are located far away.

With double cases, ensemble members who play multiple instruments can easily store and keep track of their instruments.

Flute players who also play piccolo and alto saxophone players who play soprano can efficiently store their instruments in the same case.

These cases will be less taxing to carry, and will help my students manage their instruments. With your support, they will no longer have to keep track of multiple cases, which is greatly beneficial when we travel long distances to perform. We are excited to use these cases at musical competitions and festivals!
