Growing Choral Program in Need of Proper Performance Risers

My students need safe, portable risers for perormances throughout the year.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

I am continuing the great tradition of musicianship at this school. These students are so talented and dedicated.

My goal is to make all my students well-rounded musicians so if they choose to continue with music, they will be successful.

They deserve to have the same opportunities and resources that all choral students get. I will continue to offer different activities and events that they haven't experienced yet. Plus, I know that they are appreciative of people who believe in them.

My Project

Our choral program is growing by leaps and bounds. However, the growth has made it impossible to utilize our current platform risers.

My students can not accurately perform as a mass choir because we do not have the correct amount or type of risers.

Currently, we only have 6 platform type risers that only accurately stand one class at a time. This has become an issue because of numerous reasons. 1. Safety: the risers are extremely heavy and cumbersome to move with very little benefits since not everyone fits on them. 2. Showcasing all students: there are usually so many students standing on the same level that they bunch up and hide each other. 3. Proper performance techniques: any time we go to a CPA (choral performance assessment) or a clinic, they use standard risers. By having our own, we can practice those skills.

Your donation will help up us take our program to the next level.
