My Project

When our bands perform outside our building for field trips, assessments or other opportunities, it is helpful for me to have supplies in case of an emergency. I have tried to remember to bring certain things with me when my students travel, but I would like to have a bag and supplies dedicated solely to this purpose.

The last thing a young musician needs is their instrument not working correctly right before they go on stage.

Having a bag containing extra amp cables, screwdrivers and hooks to make quick adjustments to woodwind instruments, oils for brass instrument valves and reeds for clarinets within arms reach at all times would make for less stress for students, and significant convenience for me.

Mr. Perkins will only receive his materials if this project is fully funded by August 28.
