Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Your contributions will be pivotal in meeting urgent needs within our band program. Currently, our sound system performance mixer remains out of commission, with budget constraints preventing its replacement by the district. Furthermore, our tuners are worn out and dysfunctional, hampering our ability to tune instruments effectively.

Moreover, with the recent honor of being selected as one of only four middle school bands nationwide to perform at the esteemed Midwest Clinic in Chicago, our primary focus is on raising money for this momentous trip, leaving us with limited resources for our essential needs, such as the ones in this project.

Our band holds a distinguished reputation as one of the finest bands in the state of Texas. Your generous support will directly contribute to rectifying these issues, ensuring our band has the resources to thrive. Thank you for considering a donation to our cause.
