My Project
We have recruited more students in our marching band! Participation for our sousaphone section has TRIPLED and we need more instruments for our students' success. This project will impact at least sixty students for the current marching band season and an endless amount for future students.
This project will take our marching band to new heights!
Firstly, this will increase overall student participation. Students should never be turned away from music making due to a lack of instruments. Secondly, increasing the size of our sousaphone section will ultimately increase the volume of the lower voices in the ensemble. This will allow for the band to have more opportunity to listen and adjust to a more resonant presence of the bass pitches.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
