My Project
Please help us purchase a new marimba. Even low-end marimbas cost several thousand dollars, which far exceeds our district-allotted budget.
In the past year, the HRMS Advanced Band grew from 19 to 50 students and we created a new class specifically for 20 percussionists.
We currently don't have enough instruments for our students and don't have the right instruments to cover certain parts in the music. A marimba will enrich our student's music education, both in the percussion class and in our band class.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
