NAMS Band Fall 2025

Help me give my students percussion equipment, earplugs, water spray bottles for trombones, ligatures for woodwinds, and art supplies for creativity.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Pless's classroom raised $989

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our percussion equipment is outdated and falling apart. The cymbal cradle, trap table, and bass drum rubber bands will ensure that our percussionists have the basic equipment they'll need to make quality music this school year. We are also asking for various accessories for our brass and woodwinds. We are particularly asking for help getting water spray bottles for trombones to keep their slides sliding smoothly and ligatures for our bari saxes. Along with that, the markers will ensure we can create art to promote the band. And the cart will help us whenever we have to move our equipment!

Our band musicians at NAMS deserve the very best chance at making excellent music, and these items will help make that possible!

At NAMS, we are so lucky to have students who show passion, dedication, and a genuine love for performance art. Your support helps make their endeavors possible. Thank you!
