The students in the our high school bands are representative of townships and communities throughout Currituck County, NC. Instrumental students living anywhere in the county are able to attend this arts intensive program. Students who participate within the high school bands audition for placement within the program itself to best place their abilities and allow the highest level of growth.
Our students are serious about the art of music and community performances and both our students and community will directly benefit from your support.
Many of our students pursue music professionally and in college upon completion of this program. Even those who do not, still gain valuable life experiences that help them grow into exemplary citizens and advocates for the arts.
My Project
We need reeds in order to effectively play their instruments! My students rehearse daily, practice individually often, and perform (in total) 80 times per school year. In order to effectively do so, we need essential basic materials such as reeds! Currently students are responsible for providing their own reeds, however, these purchases are often very expensive ($30 for five) and because we are a rural school it often takes my students 2-3 hours to reach the nearest music shop and return home. This is very inefficient and costly for such a small purchase. Help my students to continue their musical excellence by providing the essentials! You could make all the difference!
