My Project

My students are always in dire need of maintenance items. In music classes, things break such as reeds, drum sticks, and bass drum mallets. Most things are replaceable but are unfortunately not covered by our teacher budgets.

We plan to use these items to rehearse and perform locally for sold out shows.

Our students are extremely talented and deserve these much needed items for their instruments to function. These students are dedicated and will utilize the items daily.

We can't thank you enough in advance for donating to such an important cause!
