Mr. Milford from Decatur GA is requesting musical instruments through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.
Help me give my students hybrid band materials and reeds for the oboe!

My students walk into the band room every day excited and ready to learn and advance music! My students are determined to be the number one band in the country. Every week, we say it to get all of the students motivated to perform and play!
Our school's band population represents over 47 countries!
Many of my students use school-owned instruments which are all in much need of repairs or are beyond the repairing and just need to be replaced. My students continue to perform on these instruments and love it!
They are strong academic students and look to find balance through co-curricular course offerings such as music. They are young, vibrant personalities and enjoy attending school because of the many opportunities it provides.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic has begun, our school district has been virtual since March 13th. We are beginning plans of reopening our school building. One option students will have when we reopen the building is to remain virtual. Those students deserve an equal education no matter what option they choose.
The year 2020 hasn't been what we thought it was, but we will make the best of it!
In order to do this, I need a stand to be able to quickly and safely access every instrument to demonstrate and teach the class effectively. Also, some students need extra oboe reeds to continue playing.
These materials will be able to be used in the future in addition to their pandemic uses. They will be used with virtual clinicians to work with our bands. And they will be used daily in class when we return to in-person classes.
