Let's Get Ready to Reed It!

Help me give my students the reeds they need to create meaningful music experiences.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Darnall's classroom raised $497

My Project

The reeds purchased will provide much-needed resources for our band students at our Title I school, where access to quality equipment can often be limited. These reeds will allow every woodwind student to participate fully, without the stress of having to provide their own materials or make do with worn or broken supplies. By removing this barrier, our students can focus on developing their musical skills, working together as an ensemble, and building confidence through performance.

Help us provide the resources our reed students will need for a successful final chapter in our school before we begin a new chapter next year as we consolidate with our other district high school.

As we prepare for this transition, we are committed to giving our students the tools they need to succeed and to leave a lasting, positive legacy. With the support provided by these reeds, our students can finish strong—creating powerful memories, sharing their talents, and honoring the hard work that has built this program over the years.
