Help Our Concert Band Add a French Horn and Xylophone

Help me give my students a French horn and xylophone for our concert band.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Doretha F. Williams's classroom raised $1,852

This project is fully funded

My Project

We are trying to build our concert band instrumentation. We do not have a xylophone or French horn in our concert band.

The French horn will add color to our brass section.

The xylophone will add pitch to our percussion section. Both instruments have unique sounds that can be added to help the timbre of the entire band. The band participates in various concert performances that would require these instruments. These instruments will have a very important role in making our band achieving success in the different music festivals that we participate in.
