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

Our music program is in need of new performance technology. We would like to upgrade the quality of our choir performances with the use of an HD video mixer switcher. This technology will allow us to switch live between 2 video inputs in real-time. This will give us a chance to incorporate different live video angles and computer graphics into our presentations.

Our audience and students will experience a professional-style audio/visual concert experience as we incorporate the use of this technology into our choir concerts.

Our students reach for higher levels of success in vocal music as a result of these experiences. They know that the end result of weeks of in-class learning will culminate in a concert performance experience that they can be proud of.
