Orchestra and Drumline need some wood for the woodshed

Help me give my students supplies for our High School orchestra and drumline. Our percussionists need a really good tambourine for percussion ensemble.

My Project

Please help our orchestra and drumline get some much needed supplies for semester. The students just lost their teacher this quarter and your contribution will help daily rehearsals go smoothly and maintain good practice scheduling.

The orchestra students need some strings, rosin, and other standard supplies.

I just recruited an oboe player that will need some nice new reeds to practice with. The drumline needs some new drumsticks and mallets as well as really nice tambourine for percussion ensemble.

Thanks you so much for your support of these wonderful young musicians.
