My Project

Our school is more than 20 years old and the music department does not get a set budget from the school. The only way to get new materials is from fundraising. Most of the money goes to replacing these older instruments, however the stands that the instruments sit on are also in need of replacing. Some of the older stands are starting to loose pieces which make it impossible to change the height or to move them around the room. This means that some instruments are uncomfortable for students to play.
