My Project

We currently have a Jazz Combo (next year perhaps two) that performs locally. Jazz Combo is a sustainable program where students can perform for donations that will help fund competition fees, new music, new instruments, and more. Jazz Combo students use their own time during lunch to rehearse and perform multiple times a year for fundraisers, dinner events, farmer's markets, and more.

In order to fit our equipment into a single truck we need music stands that are durable yet portable.

We hope this will provide a solution to that dilemma as a 2nd truck requires more money to fund forcing our ensemble to lose profits from their hard-earned performances. Using less fuel means a better climate and environment.

Jazz Combo for all intents and purposes is a real-world experience where our musicians will perform gigs similar to the way they would after high school. There's no better test of their skills and our Jazz Combo is a great way to show the public some of the talent of our best musicians.
