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

I have some kids that will be switching over to the larger instruments in the near future and we need the equipment to make it happen. I need good quality mouthpieces for our tubas so they will sound awesome. I also need reeds for the tenor saxophones or we won't be able to make any sounds. The bongo bag is to help protect our bongos so they don't get damaged when we travel to a performance.

My kids are rocking it in beginning band and now it is time to switch a few kids to the larger instruments to complete our band instrumentation.
