Instrument Impact Partner

Help me give my students Reeds and Repair kits to keep their instrument functional and Drum sticks so they can play to their hearts content.

My Project

Band supplies like reeds, valve oil, slide cream, drumsticks, and repair kits make a tremendous difference in our students' musical journey. These essential items ensure that every student can properly care for their instrument, produce their best sound, and participate confidently in rehearsals and performances.

Drumsticks are a necessity for our percussionists, who use them daily and wear through them quickly with regular practice.

Repair kits help us address minor instrument issues immediately, reducing downtime and allowing students to stay engaged in learning instead of missing valuable rehearsal time.

Providing these supplies removes financial barriers for many of our students and creates equal opportunities for every band member to succeed. When students have access to the tools they need, they build confidence, develop stronger musical skills, and take greater pride in their performances.

I am incredibly excited about the impact these supplies will have on our band program. They will help our students sound their very best, care for their instruments responsibly, and continue growing as musicians. Every donation directly supports our students' success and helps ensure that the joy of making music remains accessible to every child in our band.

We will use the camera for our students photography team and will catch all this year’s memories.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
