Music Class - More Sound Needed!

Help me give my students more sound! We need a portable sound system for use during class activities. Currently our sound is provided by a Bose Mini Link. The sound is good, but we need more volume.

My Project

We need help to purchase 2 portable sound systems for use in the music classrooms of my two Title I schools.

We need portable sound systems to use during music activities!

When we are playing ukuleles, buckets, drums or dancing our currently sound system can not give us enough sound.

We currently use a Bose Mini Link to provide the sound we use in class. However, we need more volume and a way to amplify my voice so I can be heard more easily over the instruments. We would love to have a portable sound systems for each school that can be used both during regular classes inside as well as for music activities in the gym or outdoors. My students love to be active in music class & our current sound system cannot provide us with the volume we need.
