Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Welcome! Our students and community are exceptional in many ways, but we also LOVE band! Whereas most public school districts see about 20-30% participation in performing ensembles, elementary schools average 60% participation, and the enthusiasm carries over into middle school!

Our hundreds of band students rent entry-level instruments.

Our goal is to supply our very deserving students with quality accessories and supplies that will make them more successful, and therefore more motivated and happy. They will be able to focus on learning and practicing all of the brand new things that come with band, rather than missing fundamental accessories and worrying about proper maintenance.
