Live Sound for a Lively Student Performance

Help me give my students live sound equipment for our upcoming performance of The Wiz!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Riggs's classroom raised $161

This project is fully funded

My Project

At our school in Chicago, we are preparing for an exciting end-of-year concert featuring selections from "The Wiz." However, to truly bring the magic of this musical to life, we need your support to acquire live audio equipment.

This equipment will be instrumental in ensuring that our students' performances resonate throughout the auditorium.

With clear, crisp sound, our young talents will captivate the audience, transporting them to the Land of Oz and beyond.

Music education is not just about learning notes and rhythms; it's about fostering confidence, creativity, and teamwork. By providing our students with the necessary cables and tools to showcase their talents, we empower them to believe in their abilities and express themselves fully.

Moreover, this equipment will have a lasting impact beyond our upcoming concert. It will become a vital resource for future productions, enabling students from pre-kindergarten to 8th grade to continue exploring the world of performing arts.

Your generosity will make a tangible difference in the lives of our students, allowing them to shine on stage and carry the invaluable lessons of collaboration and self-expression with them for years to come. Together, let's amplify the voices of our young performers and inspire a lifelong love of music.
