Keep the Beat Safe

Help me give my students instrument storage and stands for our expanding band.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Carroll's classroom raised $444

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our students are excited to continue their musical practice and studies in band and are in need of additional materials. Our HS band program is growing and our students need materials to bring home for practice! This project is their idea!

Our students represent over 40 nations, many are first generation immigrants and have clearly brought their passion for music with them.

The band program participants increase every year when they see all the materials they have ready for them to be used. They are continuing to explore the world of electric guitars and basses. Due to other projects being funded, we are in need of a safe and practical way to store our instruments. This project will provide our band program the ability to safely store our instruments and maximize our classroom space.

Many of these students are diverse learners who use music as an outlet to escape from the world and to develop something that is special to them. Proper storage will give them a sense of direction and responsibility to safely store their instruments.
