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

This young choir just recently got the chance of a lifetime in performing in Carnegie Hall in New York City. Now fresh from this life changing experience we are growing and expanding to the next level and continuing to develop to high quality singer musicians. This live performance amplification gear will help allow us to continue the path forward to great things.

The choral program does not currently own its own sound equipment, this would allow them to have ownership of high quality materials that they can perform with.

I have personally supplied the program with microphones, and we utilize the support of the instrumental program to create great opportunities for our students. Now is the time for the Choir to branch out with its very own equipment.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
