Help Fund Our Marching Drumline!

Help me give my students new marching drumline equipment for their after-school club!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Baldwin's classroom raised $812

My Project

In order to improve our music program here at Six to Six Magnet School, we are looking to make significant upgrades to our instrumental equipment. One specific club that needs a lot of love is our new marching drumline. Our equipment that we currently have is scarce - the snare drums and tenors we have were donated from another school, our only bass drum was purchased with reserve funds we had to spare, and I personally brought in my own crash cymbals from home. We set up our drums on chairs when we practice. Despite our current limitations, we are still learning, playing, and having a lot of fun with percussion! With your help, we can give students some of the equipment that they deserve.

When dedicated, hard-working individuals get together, amazing things can happen.

Even though our students are few, they have a lot of heart. It is with this passion that they inspire their community and bring pride to their school. Please help my students achieve their musical goals!
