My Project
My students are dedicated, hardworking, and full of passion for music and performance. They spend countless hours perfecting their marching and playing, demonstrating teamwork, discipline, and school spirit. The band rehearses during the summer before school even starts. Our band isn’t just a group of musicians—it’s a family that supports one another on and off the field. The band received a SUPERIOR rating this year, raising our standards even higher for next year.
To help them succeed, we need football yard markers to improve our field rehearsals.
These markers serve as crucial visual guides, helping students learn their formations accurately and confidently. Right now, we rely on makeshift or worn-out markers, making it harder for students to develop precision in their drills.
With your support, we can provide durable, easy-to-see yard markers that will help students navigate formations quickly and accurately, improve rehearsal efficiency, leading to stronger performances, and reduce confusion and frustration, allowing students to focus on music and movement.
Our goal is to give our band members the tools they need to perform with confidence and precision at football games, competitions, and community events. These students work tirelessly to represent our school with pride, and this resource will make a huge difference in their success.
Every donation, big or small, helps our marching band step in the right direction! Thank you for believing in our students and the power of music!
