My students need music stands to use during class, band rehearsals and concerts.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lucini's classroom raised $370
This project is fully funded
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
Wouldn't it be nice if every student had the opportunity to learn a new instrument and play in a school band? With your help, we can start our school band! The first step is music stands...
Many of my students have never had the opportunity to learn to play a musical instrument.
We are hoping to offer band as an after school program beginning in March. However, the school does not currently own any music stands for students to use while playing their new-found instruments.
My students come from a variety of cultural and economic backgrounds. Because of this, private musical instruction has not been an option for many of them. However, they are very creative and eager to learn.
My Project
I have had a number of students inquiring about learning to play an instrument and forming a school band. We have been receiving donations of instruments to start our new program, but we do not currently own any music stands. Without this crucial element, a band cannot be possible. Each student (or even pair of students) needs a stand to be able to place their music on as they learn to hold and play a new instrument.
These stands will be used by countless students over the years as our program continues to grow. It is our hope that band will grow from an after school extra curricular activity into a class for the coming school year.
It is our hope that this program will continue to grow each year.
Many students have asked about a variety of performing groups outside of band, including orchestra, guitar ensemble, and percussion ensemble. Each of these performing groups will need music stands. Your contribution to this one project will help us with a variety of musical endeavors in the coming months and years.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
