Essential Supplies for Young Musicians

Help me give my students the tools they need to succeed and thrive in band!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Bailey's classroom raised $1,351

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our Georgetown Middle School band is filled with passionate young musicians who are learning to express themselves through music. However, many of our instruments are shared or school-owned, and they require regular maintenance to stay in top playing condition. That’s where you come in!

We are requesting essential supplies: reeds, valve oil, slide grease, and rotor oil.

These items may seem small, but they are critical for helping our students produce clear, beautiful sounds—and for keeping our instruments working properly all year long.

With your support, our students can focus on making music with less financial stress. Help us give our young musicians the tools they need to succeed and shine on stage!
