My Project
Our choral program is in its early stages, but the passion and potential of our students are already shining through. These young musicians are dedicated, eager to learn, and full of heart. What makes them truly special is their resilience—they show up ready to grow, even when resources are limited. They deserve a space that supports their talent and commitment. As we continue building a strong foundation for music education at our school, we are seeking seated risers to enhance their learning and performance experience.
These seated risers will make a meaningful difference by allowing students to rehearse comfortably, with proper posture, and without the strain of standing for every rehearsal.
This small but powerful upgrade will create a more professional and efficient rehearsal environment, where students can focus on their music without discomfort or distraction. With the right tools, our students can thrive. Your generosity ensures they feel seen, valued, and supported—not just as learners, but as artists. Every contribution sends a clear message: their voices matter.
Choral music changes lives. It teaches teamwork, confidence, discipline, and emotional expression—skills that stay with students long after the final note. For many of our singers, choir is a safe space where they feel free to be themselves, and where their hard work and creativity are celebrated. By helping provide seated risers for our music room, you’re giving our students the opportunity to grow in a program that nurtures their whole selves. Thank you for believing in the power of music and in the future of our choir.
