Marching Tubas for New Marching Band

Help me give my students 2 Tubas. They have been working hard fundraising for over a year and yet we haven’t come close to these marching Tubas. This unit was founded a year ago.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Hello Family!

We started this marching band program over a year ago and we are still in the process of growing.

I am asking that you all help us gather enough for two marching Tubas for our band program.

This program has scholars running to school and has created a safe space for our scholars to be themselves. We believe in giving 100% and nothing less of our effort as we March down the streets and touch the lives of many people in many states.

Please help my program grow to help continue to save the lives of our youth!

Let’s save our music programs!
