Trumpets Go Toot Toot

My Project

Our band program has been growing! This is a great problem to have. Sadly though, this means that we don’t always have the necessary instruments for students to use.

Due to more than 75% of our students coming from low income families students are unable to purchase their own instruments.

Because of this, students rely on school own instruments to be able to join and participate in band class.

These 2 trumpets here would allow multiple students over the next decade or more to be able to join band and learn skills they could have for a life time. I’ve never heard anyone say they regret joining band, just that they regret not joining.
