My Project

Our marching band students work hard every year to put on an awesome show! Our percussion section is growing more each year! We struggle to get funding for our ensemble due to being located in a low-income area. Your donation will be put to good use for our award-winning program.

This marimba will help our growing percussion section have another quality instrument to use for marching band, and for our growing indoor percussion ensemble that is open to all Wayne County students!

The marimba covers will help us to keep the marimba protected while transporting and when not in use.

Grades 9-12
