We've received 9 new over-ear microphone sets to go with our wireless body-pack system. These headsets will be used by special speakers, performing arts directors, and student performers.\r\n\r\nThe group who will use these the most is our Drama students. When they put on a play or musical, they wear wireless mic transmitters so they can move freely--allowing them to fully embody their character and move around the stage without having to account for microphone placement.\r\n\r\nOver the years, we've found that these headsets, with comfortable over-ear placement, are the most secure, and the most easily adjusted headsets. That might not seem like such a big deal, but it means that actors can trust that they will be heard by the audience. \r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for your support of our Performing Arts program--thanks for giving!","fullyFundedDate":1760693573787,"projectUrl":"project/mic-check-123/9753009/","projectTitle":"Mic Check, 1,2,3...","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Huizenga","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8370797_orig.jpg?crop=1442,1442,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1647146505752","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8370797"},{"teacherId":4018317,"projectId":2527555,"letterContent":"Getting funding to purchase a new laptop for my robotics students has allowed the ability to get more kids involved in learning programming.
