My students need harnesses for their marching bass drums in order to properly grow both physically and musically.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Our music department is booming - we're at a point where all of our classes are literally overflowing with a diversity of students. Students range from complete beginners with no previous experience, to students playing since a young age, to those in top honors ensembles.
Regardless of experience, what makes our music students stand out is their hunger and thirst for new experiences.
Students can choose from a variety of classes including: Keyboard, Guitar, Beginning Band, Beginning Strings, Advanced Band (Marching and Concert Band), Chorus, and Chamber Choir. Other extra-curricular groups include: Pep Band, Jazz Ensemble, and Mariachi.
My Project
This is the second of a multi-project plan to literally support the students of the Drumline. The current harnesses are ‘frankenstein-ed’ together, and do not provide proper postural support to the students. The drums themselves are heavy, and it is imperative that they have the equipment that will not be detrimental to their growth, both physically and instrumentally.
The drumline is the heart and soul of any marching band.
While this campaign may directly support a handful of students, it indirectly affects hundreds of students and community members as throughout the year at football games, assemblies, parades, graduation, concerts, and other community events.
This year it is even more important, as we are making our formative steps into transitioning into a competitive marching band, as well as starting Winter Drumline next semester.
With the addition of these two harnesses, we are only able to support half of our bass drum players of Mighty Gondolier Marching Band Drumline. Please help us fulfill this request so we can submit Part 3!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
