My Project

My students are creative, enthusiastic, and full of energy! They love opportunities to express themselves through music and theater. Whether singing in our chorus or performing in a musical production, they work hard, encourage one another, and take pride in sharing their talents with our school community.

Our current sound and lighting system has several gaps, including broken and outdated equipment that limits what we can accomplish.

The two floodlights will improve stage visibility, helping our young performers shine. The audio mixer will provide better control over sound, while the four headset microphones will allow students to sing, speak, and move freely while being heard clearly.

These resources will help us create more engaging productions while giving students valuable experiences in teamwork, communication, creativity, and confidence. Most importantly, they will help ensure every student has an opportunity to shine on stage!
