This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
The students in the ECLC Music Department are some of the most involved, artistic, and caring students on campus. The students come everyday ready to make music with their peers as well as participate in organizations including JROTC, DECA, FCCLA, as well as sports including football, track, cross country, bowling, as well as many other extracurricular activities. Sometimes we lack the quality instruments we need to function in the band room.
The purpose of this fundraiser is to provide quality instruments for a quality education.
Students in all of the music ensembles foster the culture and atmosphere that reflect members of the community. Every student in the music program performs their instrument in various community events, including football games, pep assemblies, parades, festivals, community events, OMEA Solo and Ensemble and OMEA Large Group Adjudicated Events.
My Project
These instruments will continue to enhance the music made on and off the marching band field. Students have been playing on old, beat up equipment and with little funding and fundraising, we have a hard time replacing these instruments. Every percussionist in the East CLC Band exhibits mature musicianship and behavior.
With these new instruments, my students will be able to not only sound good, but look good as well.
When selecting which drums to buy, students had input on the brand and color scheme we went with. We are excited for the possibility of having new instruments in the near future!
