The students have been especially enthusiastic, not only about the drum's beautiful shell texture and color, but also about its crisp responsiveness and the unique depth of sound it brings to our ensemble's overall balance.\r\n\r\nAs our program continues to grow, we're committed to exploring the full range of instrumental possibilities available to our students. Enhancing our percussion section allows us to deepen our understanding of musical color. This is especially important as we prepare to launch a new ensemble class next year, which will bring in even more students with diverse musical interests and needs.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generous support. This gift has already enriched our students' musical experiences, and we're certain it will continue to inspire learning and creativity in the years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1738800861140,"projectUrl":"project/music-to-our-eardrums/9068755/","projectTitle":"Music to Our Ear(drums)!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Sharpe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9901120_orig.png?crop=662,662,x0,y30&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1737128374714","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9901120"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_46449","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1500,"numTeachers":55,"percentFrplEligible":90,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":50,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":30,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"27.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":73.1,"schoolId":46449,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mount Dora High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mount Dora High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/lake-county-school-district/mt-dora-high-school/46449"}
