Safe Band Performances During Covid-19 Part 2

Help me give my students face masks and bell covers, for the ability to make great music again, safely.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Manns's classroom raised $488

This project is fully funded

My Students

Our school is small and in inner-city Cleveland, Ohio. The school population is low income and on free and reduced lunch. Without the free instruments, the school provides my students wouldn't be able to afford an instrument of their own.

My band students love to make music with their instruments but have not been able to play for one and a half years because of Covid-19.

They are excited to return to the band room, as am I, but I am concerned about returning safely.

My Project

Students at our school are excited to return to the band room but how to do it safely is a big concern. Instrument bell covers and vinyl to make flute shields will help our band enjoy the music making process while being safe.

Your donation will help bring the music room back to life for our low-income students after being away for so long.

Our school provides the students with free instruments and instrument repair, however, it does not leave enough to pay for this necessary equipment to stay safe. The students can't wait to play their instruments together again.

Thank you for your donation!
