My Project
Donating funds to our Band Program is an invaluable investment in the future of our students, particularly those in the Drumline. As we strive for a goal of having all members maintain a 3.0 GPA while spending their free time doing something productive, your contributions play a crucial role in supporting our students' academic and musical development. Many of these young musicians, hailing from low-income families in North Memphis, are discovering their passion for music for the first time and excelling beyond expectations. The rich legacy of music in Manassas, rooted in the influential works of Mr. Jimmy Luncford and Mr. Isaac Hayes, inspires our students to push their limits. However, the current economic climate makes it increasingly difficult for families to cover band fees and related expenses. Your support ensures that every student has the opportunity to participate, learn, and grow, fostering a deeper appreciation for music and community. Together, we can help these talented individuals thrive both academically and artistically.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
