My Project

In our K-5 elementary school music program, we believe in nurturing the talents of tomorrow's musicians. Each year, we host one performance for each grade, showcasing cross-curricular, arts-integrated music and performance. However, our current setup lacks the essential equipment needed to truly elevate our students' learning experience. We are reaching out to you, our generous supporters, to help us acquire overhead microphone boom stands that will revolutionize the way our students engage with music.

These boom stands and arm extensions will serve as the backbone of our grade-level ensemble performances, allowing our students to freely express themselves without being hindered by cumbersome equipment.

With the flexibility and stability provided by these boom stands, our musicians will have the opportunity to explore new techniques, experiment with different soundscapes, and hone their craft to perfection.

Your contribution to this project will directly impact the lives of our K-5 musicians, empowering them to reach new heights in their musical journey. Together, let's raise the sound and ensure that every student has the tools they need to succeed in our music program.

Thank you for your support!
