Extended Sound Range!

Help me give my students the ability to finish their musical performance sound in the auditorium.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Ramsey's classroom raised $210

My Project

Our students are excited to perform a Christmas concert, with the first time using the sound system of our own from our classroom! Recently, I have found that we need longer cables for the speakers, so that they can be spread out more away from the risers for the audience.

The speaker cables in this project will help our sound system be completely finished, and so that we will not have to borrow any items from the high school band room.

This will help the students in their musical performance experience at our local auditorium, and allow them to utilize the sound system they are used to in the music classes. Musical performance is a big part of student learning, and fine-tuning the sound system plays a big role in it. We will be able to set up and use our own sound system, rather than having to borrow components from the high school program.

I so much appreciate your consideration of helping out our music class!
