Risers to Shine!

Help me give my students a safe place to perform! The current risers are very old and unsafe. We are starting a music performance club, and they need a safe place to stand.

My Project

In the fall our students will be starting Passion Projects. One of the projects they can choose from is the music passion performance project. Students will sing and learn instruments, but they need a safe place to perform. Risers enhance visibility, optimize space, improve sound quality, and boost student confidence during elementary school performances.

Risers play a crucial role in elementary school performances for several reasons:

Visibility:

Risers elevate students, making them more visible to the audience. This ensures that everyone can see and appreciate their performance.

Space Optimization:

By using risers, schools can maximize limited stage space. More students can fit on stage, allowing for larger groups or choirs.

Choral Sound:

Risers help create better choral sound. When students are arranged on different levels, their voices blend more effectively, resulting in a richer and more harmonious sound.

Confidence Boost:

Being on risers gives students a sense of importance and confidence. They feel like they’re part of something special, which positively impacts their performance.
