Percussion Fun with Bongos!

Help me give my students bongos to join the percussion family in band class.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Smith's classroom raised $269

This project is fully funded

My Project

Having bongos in the instrument closet would be a nice option to pull out when needed. Percussion students like to come to class to not only play their instrument but it can also help to release some built up emotion or tention students causing them to relax.

Please help me give my percussion students a new set of bongos and a stand to support the weight of the bongos.

At this time, the set that we currently have is not operable and the stand is nowhere to be found. We will be playing a selection for our Spring Concert in April that has a bongo part to play. I would love to work towards the original sound of the piece as it was written by the composer. Please help me give my students a new instrument to join the percussion family.
