My Project

To whom it may concern:

I’m asking for Buckets and sticks so we can create a bucket band using Junior High school students.

Bucket band, I believe this will give the students many opportunities to be apart of a great music experience. Using Buckets and African drums, students will create and atmosphere of community, collaboration of ideas and be able to showcase and perform.

I believe with my music experience and the students with the right music materials we can create the best program and one of the best Sounds.

Thank You

Mr. Payton Stadium School 15 Grades 6-8
