Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I have a band and have mentioned that if the students get a few songs under their belts they could open for my band.

The drum set currently in use was donated and is missing a few parts or has damage.

The TAMA Roadpro Cymbal Stand Bundle Pack & drum heads would help students continue on the growth journey. There is currently no bass amplification for the students, the Ampeg Micro-CL 2x10 Inches 100-Watt Bass Stack would remedy this. These donations would get the students on track to participate in a school talent show coming up very soon. While most of these students have some experience playing an instrument, some simply have an interest to see what it would be like to get on stage and play in front of a crowd.
