New Students!

My students need cables, tambourines, and a cowbell in order to continue to perform on the expanded electronic component in the band. In addition, the Bari Sax stand will provide a safe place for our bari sax!

"When you consider the consequences of NOT doing the little things, you realize there are no little things"

The AR band needs your help.

We are asking you to help us with our pursuit of excellence. In a small rural school such as ours we often do not have the funding to get some of the many tools we need to help us continue to grow musically and achieve an excellent performance. As many of you know, band students are extremely hard working. The students here at AR have consistently, year to year, improved in their performances. We are moving the band forward with more electric instruments including a bass guitar, piano, and synthesizers. In addition, we will be able to add cool new effects and sounds to our show. This may also consist of micing soloists such as a flute or clarinet that may not be heard otherwise. This will allow us to get a really cool sound and continue to entertain our audience and interest more students!

Please consider donating to this worthy cause to help a child learn the magic of music! You can directly affect a student's future through your generous donation. Thank you!

My Project

We have had a new influx of students interested in playing instruments like piano, electric bass guitar, and synthesizer! To provide these students with a complete music education there are several items that are needed to continue to provide a great experience! In addition, our percussion students continue to grow in number. This is a great problem to have so to make sure they are always performing we need more instruments. Finally, our Bari Sax is very fragile. This Bari sax stand will provide a safe area for the instrument. I want to thank you for taking the time to look at this project and I appreciate your time! Thank you so much!
