My Project

The DHS Soundwave Band is a new and growing program, full of passionate students eager to build something extraordinary. As a young program, one of our pressing needs is expanding our music library with quality band literature. The goal of this campaign is to provide our students with pieces that are considered staples within the band community—significant works that will enhance their musical education and performance experience.

Access to this literature will allow our students to develop essential skills, such as sight-reading, technical precision, and ensemble collaboration.

These works represent the foundation of a well-rounded band repertoire, exposing our students to the artistry and tradition of the music community. Performing such significant pieces will also allow us to showcase the Soundwave Band at concerts, competitions, and community events, building pride within our school and local community.

What makes our students truly special is their dedication to establishing this program and creating a legacy. Despite limited resources, they are eager to learn, grow, and represent our school with excellence. By supporting this campaign, you are helping to provide these talented young musicians with the tools they need to thrive. Together, we can ensure that the Soundwave Band has access to the music that inspires and challenges them, setting the stage for future success.
