High School Band Equipment

Help me give my students access to reeds, basic instrument maintenance, trumpet/trombone mutes, and new percussion mallets! There is also a request for the Essential Elements Band book 2 conductor copy, since our school only has book 1.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Olney's classroom raised $931

My Project

My students are at a Title I school, and don't have current access to basic instrument maintenance as a class (students try to buy their own, but often borrow each others' cork grease, valve oil, mutes, etc.). I like to have reeds and other basic instrument care available for them to use. Additionally, many of our instruments are missing parts, which is why I have ligatures on the list for clarinets and alto saxes. Also, our percussion section is in serious need of new mallets for all of our mallet instruments (bells, xylophone & marimba) as well as bass drum mallets. Any items that come in will be directly used by the students in daily practicing at home or at school. Thank you!
