My Students

The performing arts are an integral part of any student's education. Through the arts, students learn many skills that will be used for a lifetime. With Band in particular, students spend countless hours outside of school trying to improve themselves for the better of the team.

We build a strong community through excellence in individual practices and experiences.

Without individuals working to be the best they can be, the team does not move forward effectively. Your contributions will help the individuals contribute to the group!

My Project

At the moment, our outstanding Drumline is using outdated sticks and mallets. Due to the wear and tear over many years of marching band, these sticks need to be replaced ASAP! We have nearly 40 percussionists in our band program of about 210 students. There is nothing they would like to do more than play loud and proud at each rehearsal and football game.

Our students do not have the proper equipment to successfully pursue their best sound.

We would like to equip them with the necessary sticks and mallets for them to achieve as highly as we know they can!
