My Project

Our 7-12th grade performance ensembles include a Concert Band (in which we incorporate electric guitars) and a Pep Band, which plays high energy music during indoor sporting events to keep the crowd nice and hyped.

A Fender Squire electric guitar will help bring the energy and hype to our performance ensembles.

The guitar is high quality and will be great for beginners and advanced players alike.

We have also put some replacement electric guitar strings and electric bass guitar strings on our list, as these strings only last for so long when we are bringing the hype!
