Help me give my students reeds for our woodwind instruments. We are desperately short on reeds which prevents our woodwind students from being able to play or manage reeds in a safe and sanitary manner.

My Project
We are in need of reeds for the woodwind students in our band. This project will allow us to provide reeds for our alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone, clarinet, and bass clarinet students. Reeds are essential for the playing of woodwind instruments, these instruments physically do not function without reeds. These woodwind instruments are vital to the success of the band and we want our students to be able to be unhindered by equipment to achieve their highest level of attainment possible. We want the band to be something that continues to make the community proud. We are also projecting the band to grow at an incredible rate in the near future.
