SCSA Rocket Drumline
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Porter's classroom raised $8,819
This project is fully funded
My Project
Help Us March to the Beat of a Brighter Future!
We're launching an exciting endeavor to bring a drum-line to SCSA—and we need your support to make it happen! A drum-line fosters teamwork, discipline, school pride, and musical talent, giving students a powerful outlet for creativity and expression. It also builds the foundational skills for future high school and collegiate band students!
With your help, we can raise the funds needed for instruments and equipment including snare drums, bass drums, drum stands, and other resources. Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to putting sticks in hands and rhythm in our halls.
This classroom project was brought to life by The Gipson Family Foundation
and one other donor.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
