My Project
Our students need your help to raise funding for our school to purchase a baritone saxophone. The musicians at our school are determined and passionate learners. They enjoy challenges and always want to better their skills.
Our saxophone players are dedicated musicians that want to pursue music in their future, and are hoping to have the wonderful opportunity to learn how to play the baritone saxophone in school.
Being able to purchase a baritone saxophone would help our bands by providing stability in the lower register and further student's passion towards exploring new musical opportunities.
This year we began an After-School Jazz Band for the students where 30 students stay after school and learn how to play jazz for the first time. Having a baritone saxophone for the jazz band would elevate the experience for all students and truly help our students experience a high level of music education in middle school. The baritone saxophone comes at an expensive price, but with your help we can use our donations to invest in our students' future!
Thank you for your considerate donations. We appreciate all of your help.
