My Project

Our high school's marching band is looking to replace our old and broken sousaphones with a new marching tuba. Our current sousaphones are decades old, no longer produce a quality sound, and are held together by tape!

A marching tuba will greatly elevate the band's sound on the field!

This year, we borrowed a tuba from another school which was a huge help short-term. Purchasing our own marching tuba will allow our dedicated and hard-working students the opportunity to play on a quality instrument for years to come. Your support is greatly appreciated!
