Mutes & Camera...Let's Take This to the Next Level!
My students need mutes so we can learn/perform advanced literature. We currently have to use our hands over the bells. Also, replacement video camera to record our practices/performances. The older one has broken.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Wright's classroom raised $724

My Students
We are a band on the verge of greatness, but we need your help! We have 234 students from two middle schools and a high school in our band program. Four years ago, our marching band had only 49 members, but now...we boasted 81!!! However, our instruments are all very old, and we are in a low-income area where many students have to borrow a school instrument. We are quickly running out of instruments!!! Our hope is for funding to help us finish this year strong and purchase new instruments and equipment that will help us for the next 15+ years! Students cannot feel successful on an instrument or equipment that is holding them back, so we hope you will help us!
My Project
Currently, we are pushing ourselves to learn/perform more advanced literature than ever before. Currently, we have to cover the bells of our instruments with our hands. That doesn't create the "right" sound.
With harder music, more materials are required.
Mutes for our trumpets and trombones are crucial to this music. These mutes should last for the next 20 years, as long as they are taken care of.
Also, our old camera (that shot in standard definition), has broken. We would like to replace/upgrade our camera to be viewable on upgraded televisions and our website. We plan on uploading all performances to the website for future generations to learn from and older generations to relish.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
