My Project

We come from a very diverse group of students. We are located about one mile from the Crow Indian reservation and very near the Northern Cheyenne reservation. We have Native American and non-native students from ranches and farms and are in a very rural area in the state of Montana. Our schools service a student population that is over 85% Native American.

With this donation, you will be helping our students experience the power of musical performance, as they will practice singing and playing instruments on a small PA system.

This project will allow the students a more full sound experience when they are performing in front of their peers and the teachers, in that they can hear the full bass with the subwoofer. Also, this will help save the speakers of the PA system, because the subwoofer will relieve them of having to produce the bass.

When we had been practicing music for our Christmas concert, some of the students felt bold enough to sing in front of the class, either as a solo, duet or trio. I believe I can challenge them to do this more frequently by using the sound system, and it will simulate some of their favorite artists they see on the big stage. I am hoping to influence many students to become more interested in musical performance in this way.
