K.O.C.A. Band Revamp!

Help me give my students xylophones, drum sticks and headphones to have a refined musical experience to build on throughout their high school journey.

My Project

These instruments and headphones will first give the students a chance to learn an actual instrument and play sings through the knowledge of learning to read music. The Xylophones are an excellent start in building our school with instruments and giving students the thrill of playing real music throughout the school year. The only instruments the students have experienced is the snare drum, in which students get to customize a pair of drumsticks with colorful tape and play their playing test with those custom sticks which is why I need more drumsticks for the incoming students. Lastly, the headphones are for the production portion of the class in which students are learning to produce their own beats to make an actual audio track. These items will not only help the students with their musical experience this year but also help with students that are coming to the class in the future.
