The Cleanest Band in the Land!

Help me give my students the proper materials to keep their instruments clean! These items will help maintain the cleanliness of all school instruments, which will teach them all the importance of daily cleanings.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Belin's classroom raised $1,096

This project is fully funded

My Project

If this project is funded, all students who use classroom instruments will have what they need to keep their instruments clean.

The cleaning cloths are for woodwind instruments, while the brushes are for brass instruments.

This will ensure that the instruments last a long time and in good condition.

There is a set of repair tools, which also go into helping keep all the band instruments in the classroom in good working condition. We do not get a lot of funding to get instruments repairs. Therefore, if I am able to do more repairs on my own, then we can save money and put it towards instruments that truly need care.
