My Project

Percussion instrument can make amazing sound when they are played with the correct mallets! This project focuses on providing some much needed mallets and sticks that we have not been able to provide for our students as they cost so much money.

Percussion instruments are an essential part of the band!

When played with the correct mallet or stick, that is in amazing condition, the entire band sounds better.

I am beyond grateful for the support I receive from my parents, community and state for making music come alive for my students every day!
