My Project

"Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent" - Victor Hugo

For many students in the school, the band room is the one place that they feel safe, included, and important.

Being able to make music at a high level with their peers is an incredible way to foster connection between students, especially at a time where they are still re-forming their social connections after COVID-19. Helping to provide the supplies (Valentino Teacher's Travel Repair Kit,Percussion Concert Bass Drum Mallet, etc...) for these students to keep their instruments playing properly helps them to be able to experience the success and connections with their peers, and also helps them to create those connections and express the feelings that they can't anywhere else through play music.
