Celebrating 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
For many years, the drumline students have been marching and playing with broken, unpadded, non-adjustable drum carriers. Use of these harnesses can cause discomfort and back pain, and we would like to purchase new harnesses to better support them and their health.
With your donations, we can purchase new drum carriers for the Bass Drum and Snare Drum students to help them achieve musical excellence in better comfort this school year.
The band students are some of the most hard working, passionate students I have ever worked with. They come to rehearsal every day ready to learn and to be better than they were the day before. These students care tremendously about their success and are aspiring to be competitive with the other 2A bands in our local marching band circuit.
Please consider donating to our program to help support my students' music education.
More than three‑quarters of 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
