My Project

Our band program is growing faster than ever before—and that’s music to our ears! This past year, we've seen a remarkable increase in student interest, with more young musicians eager to join and learn than we have instruments to provide.

To meet the needs of our expanding ensemble, we are seeking support to add three essential instruments to our collection:

-Eastar AS-Ⅱ Alto Saxophone – A reliable and student-friendly horn for our growing sax section

-Eastar TS-Ⅱ Tenor Saxophone – Adds depth and harmony, perfect for ensemble blend

-Giardinelli GPC-300 Piccolo – A bright, essential voice in both concert and marching settings

-Glory GLY-PBK Bb Clarinet – An accessible yet professional-quality option for beginner and intermediate clarinetists

-Innovative Percussion FS-PR2 Paul Rennick Marching Snare Sticks – Designed for advanced technique and durability

-FBX Field Series Bass Mallets (XS, Medium, XL) – A full set to cover dynamic range and line needs

- GTX Series Timpani Mallet (Hard/Staccato) – Ideal for crisp articulation in concert pieces

-Nylon Retractable Brushes (Light) – For jazz, concert, and delicate passages requiring finesse

With your generous support, we can place quality instruments and gear into the hands of eager young musicians—many of whom would not otherwise have access. These resources will not only support daily rehearsals but also help our students build confidence, discipline, and a love for music that can last a lifetime.

Thank you for helping us build a band where every student has a place and every note has a voice.
