My Students
In my short time at MHS, the students have amazed me with their eager attitudes, hunger for music, and willingness to try anything. I was aware of the great legacy the school already has but know that music and the arts haven't been funded the way they used to be. The school is a Title I funded school, which means that over two-thirds of the students come from low-income households. Even so, the students have already made leaps and bounds in their playing, and their most recent concert was considered their best in years!
My students do the most amazing things with the least amazing instruments.
The instruments are old, some are broken, some even barely work. Yet, my kids perform level 3-5 music and attend festivals and parades. Even beyond that, they aid the local elementary schools with private tutoring and middle school prep. This band program truly is a family and these students make it what it is. They are truly amazing and deserve the help that you would be able to provide.
My Project
Next year will bring a large host of issues to the band program at our high school. We don't know what enrollment or even the band room will look like come September. Dealing with all this, we also don't have the time or money to get repairs or even set up our instruments like we used to!
The students deserve working equipment the moment they arrive next year.
My goal is to give everyone the best opportunity to get the band making sounds again and get the program off the ground. Giving them working instruments is the bare minimum I can provide them and your donation will help with that!
More than half of students from low‑income households
