My Project

We are seeking funding to acquire essential accessories for our band: tuners (and sleeves to store them in), baritone saxophone reeds, and mouthpiece cushions.

These items are critical in maintaining the quality and consistency of our performances.

Tuners ensure each instrument is precisely calibrated, fostering a harmonious blend rather than a discordant clash. This precision significantly elevates our overall sound.

Baritone saxophone reeds are crucial for producing a rich, full-bodied sound. Quality reeds lead to a more reliable and expressive performance from our saxophonists, directly impacting the quality of our band's sound.

Lastly, mouthpiece cushions not only extend the lifespan of our instruments but also improve the comfort and playability for our musicians, allowing them to perform at their best.

Providing our students with these tools will dramatically improve the sound quality and performance level of our band, ensuring both competitive success and a joyful musical experience.
