My Project

Please help support our band program. The supplies we are asking for will help students have enough supplies to learn their instruments well. With sax and clarinet reeds and sax neck straps, it will really help out all our young musicians.

We are preparing for our Spring programs and these supplies will help students achieve excellence.

We have concerts planned for our school, communities, and regions. Students have been working very hard all year. As we approach the summer season, supplies get low - but we can’t stop now. Our young musicians will reach the top! Thanks for supporting our band and young lives!!
