Help me give my students new percussion equipment and method books for better instruction

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Budinger's classroom raised $2,907

My Project

This project will make a difference because it will allow our percussionists to play on professional equipment. This includes axillary percussion equipment (triangle, ratchet, vibraslap, slapstick, etc.), a percussion table and other equipment for other instruments. We also will get new concert toms and a restock of mallets for a variety of instruments. This includes cleaning swabs for clarinet and saxophone and valve oil for brass instruments such as trumpet, euphonium and tuba. The instrument that I am most excited for is our new wooden xylophone. This instrument will allow our students to play on an advanced instrument.
