Our school is a public four-year high school with a wide range of students from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. Approximately 35-40% of our student body participates in fine arts on some level. Offering our music students the chance to succeed is my top priority. We strive daily to make opportunities available for our high school students to further their musical skills and expand their horizons.
Students attending our school have earned recognition at the district, state, regional, and national levels.
We have alumni working on Broadway, teaching college and public school music, and performing as professionals all over the world. Our music department has a 100+ year history of excellence, and we try every day to live up to that legacy. We offer jazz band, two levels of string orchestra, and concert band, pep band, and marching band. We also have strong choral, guitar, drama, and fine arts programs.
My Project
We are requesting funds to purchase additional mallets for our keyboard percussion instruments. We have not added any to our inventory in quite a few years and it is time to retire a few pairs that are close to breaking.
Having the correct mallets makes all the difference when playing high school concert band and jazz band literature.
With these new mallets, our students will be able to get the best possible sound from our keyboard percussion.
The saxophone ligatures and mouthpieces are to replace some broken or missing mouthpieces in our school inventory.
