My Project
The Marching Storm students are hard-working, eager to learn and determined to help build up our marching band program. Over the years our band participation has increased and decreased. Our band is looking to recruit 25 members this year. We are requesting tracksuits, bass drum heads, drum practice pads, gloves and more. We need new instruments and equipment for our organization. We have instruments but many are beyond repair. We have a need for percussion equipment for our up coming competitions. This project will give our growing band the confidence they need to compete at a high level with the best bands in the city of Chicago.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
