My Project

Our students are working hard to build up their Marching Band. The past year alone has seen our band and auxiliary members earn over $500,000 in scholarships! They are working their hardest and we want to support them by building up a stock of back up straps, reeds, sticks, and equipment. Things most of our students tend to tear or break during practice. The leotards and fabric are going to the auxiliary dance and guard members to make a winter uniform to compliment the growth of our team that has grown from 6 to 15 members this year.

Our students strive everyday to improve themselves and earn scholarships for their hard work.

This year we are taking our award winning band to the Chicago Football Classic and been invited to the 2 largest events for the Noble network schools this coming year. We want to provide the most opportune environment for them to keep working toward their dreams.
