The Basses in the Orchestra Need a Proper Home...

Help me give my students a place to store their basses to keep them out of the repair shop.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

The M. High School Orchestra is widely recognized as one of the finest high school orchestra programs in the nation, consistently receiving superior ratings at Regional and National Competitions.

Our philosophy in the M.

Orchestra is that a school is a place where students discover nurturing pathways for growth and success in their lifetimes. This represents only one part of a child's total learning community. Parents, teachers, community and business leaders all have a stake in making our students' dreams come true by paving the way with experiences and lessons relevant to the real world.

The greatest task before us as teachers, parents, and leaders of our community is to develop in our youth a strong sense of self and purpose that endures in spite of their burdens. Our common challenge, therefore, is to inspire and nourish the students in the M. High School Orchestras a thirst for lifelong learning.

My Project

As the enrollment in the M. Orchestra continues to increase, the need for instruments and storage racks also grow. Although this is a great problem to have in a music department, funding for such projects are not always available.

Funding this project will help the actual instruments live longer and spend less time in the repair shop, which will always help with our ever changing budget.

With the funding completed for our bass stools, we now need to place those basses in a secure area where they will not be damaged.
