My Project
Afterschool choir has shown much enthusiasm, passion, and talent, but to truly take their experience to the next level, we need some unique and creative resources. With your help, we can enhance the energy of our rehearsals and performances, creating an atmosphere where our students can shine both on stage and in practice.
In our choir, we believe in the power of music to bring people together, build confidence, and unlock creativity.
However, I believe in creating an environment that is engaging, fun, and supportive of all types of learning. The resources we are seeking will not only provide the tools our students need to perform well but will also create a space that fosters excitement, focus, and positive energy for our young singers.
Here’s how these resources will benefit our program:
LED Tealights:
One of the most powerful aspects of performance is the ability to set the right mood and atmosphere. LED tealights will help us create a magical, calming ambiance during our choir performances. These lights can help highlight the singers and create an inspiring stage setting, allowing the students to feel like stars and make the experience more memorable.
Cheerleading Pom-Poms:
To infuse a sense of energy and enthusiasm into our performances, we are asking for cheerleading pom-poms! These fun accessories will be used to add excitement and visual flair to our performances, especially for more upbeat or celebratory songs. Pom-poms can also be used to encourage our students to engage fully in the performance, reinforcing the connection between music, movement, and expression.
Flex-Space Wobble Chairs:
In order to provide a comfortable and flexible space for our students to focus, we are requesting wobble chairs. These chairs are designed to allow students to move and shift as they practice, helping them stay engaged and focused.
More than half of students from low‑income households
