My Project

My district is a Title I District, and many of our families are eligible for free and reduced lunch. Our student population has many needs as well as many great qualities! They work hard and enjoy playing music. The jazz band has long been one of the more exciting parts of our program, and our jazz band has a great tradition of doing well during competition seasons.

These stools will be for our trombonists in the jazz band to use so that they may improve their posture, and exude confidence while they perform.

It's exciting to think about how these will change the experience for them, and it will allow their sound to project better since their bells will be above the saxophones rather than playing directly into the back of the saxophonists.

We would be grateful for your support of this project, and we know that we will do our best to ensure that these are put to excellent use!
