Support Our NEW Performing Arts Program! Live Sound

Help me give my students live sound equipment to perform in our schools auditorium next year!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Shaw's classroom raised $862

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our school is starting a brand-new performing arts program. These schools hardly support their music programs despite Philadelphia being a historical and iconic location for up-and-coming musicians. My students are very talented and incredibly determined. They are excited for a new opportunity at their school, and I hope you can help us!

My goal for this project is to supply the live sound equipment so we can perform in the school's auditorium.

The bulk of this project is a PA system that will support the vocalists in the program as they will be performing with a live band.
