She is highly motivated and works hard at learning her music. She is determined to one day play the bari sax. But until then, the mouthpieces, ligatures and boxes of reeds will keep kids like her playing on the alto saxophone until they are ready for a better or different saxophone, or just in case a ligature or mouthpiece gets dropped and stomped. As the years progress, I aim to add more school owned instruments to my inventory, but even having a couple extra mouthpieces means students in different bands can share instruments.

If it doesn't, it is very frustrating. This new trumpet will allow a young person a chance to play on a working trumpet. A trumpet that actually looks good! This creates a sense of intense pride right away in my young player. Hopefully it allows them the chance to see what a working trumpet value is and they will want to look into purchasing one for themselves. I have a couple upcoming 6th grade trumpet players that I have in mind for this particular trumpet.

It will go directly with the new marching bass drum that donors like you have contributed to so that my percussionists have a brand new complete set.

The pitch pipes make such a big difference to my percussionists as they learn how to tune the timpani by ear, not an electronic tuner (which distorts the pitch). The couple students who have tried the breathing regulators have been amazed at 1) how hard it can be to keep the ping-pong ball at the top and 2) how much better of an air flow they had afterwards. And oh my goodness...even my \"big\" kids had to try out the pBuzz instruments to see how they worked. It got a couple of my middle school brass players already figuring out how to play the octave higher (mostly because it's way too fun to play!).

Flex music simply means that it will allow us smaller bands to play pieces that normally a larger group would play, but we couldn't because we don't have the instrumentation. Well, we could, but it would sound totally different, and judges don't like that, not when they are used to hearing some of these pieces with a full 60 member ensemble that had tubas, oboes, and more than 1 flute or clarinet. There are still a couple more pieces that I would love to add to my choice list (different years just lend to different pieces for various reasons), but a couple were out of stock, so I chose others on one of the other lists that I think would be good for our ensemble. We head into Large Group Festival in a week. One of the List Flex pieces you all helped contribute to last year, \"Derivations\", will be performed at that time. The kids love it!

Then I realized that Heather did, when I looked back at the project, and realized that it was actually fully funded last summer. Her projects were put under my name last fall so that I could help get them where they needed to go. So seeing this helped me remember Heather and the good things she was doing for her students to see them grow. I will be making sure that these get down to the lower elementary special education classroom, and be assured, I KNOW the kiddos down there will love building barns, castles, race tracks, and using the people to practice life skills while having fun.
