The addition of the Doctor Beat Metronome transformed our rhythm practice almost overnight—what was once a daily struggle to stay together became an opportunity for real growth in tempo control and ensemble cohesion. It was a moment that reminded us how the right tools can unlock both confidence and capability.\r\n\r\nWe've also been using the Logitech Surround Sound System to play professional recordings, allowing students to hear the kind of tone, balance, and musicality we strive to achieve. It has sparked meaningful conversations during class. Our literature organizer and music stand cart have brought a new level of efficiency to rehearsals—no more shuffling through piles of music or wasting time setting up. Every moment of class is now focused on what matters most: making music together.\r\n\r\nWith the addition of high-quality reeds for our woodwind players, every student now has the opportunity to participate fully, without worrying about access to basic supplies. These tools have helped create a supportive, high-functioning learning environment where students feel seen, supported, and excited to grow. Thanks to your generosity, our band room is not just better equipped—it's a place where young musicians can truly thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1742934518951,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-better-band-tools-for-music/9072628/","projectTitle":"“Building a Better Band: Tools for Musical Success”","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Suit","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9809795_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1732740913869","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9809795"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_46260","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":426,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":55,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":10,"percentWhite":83,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"17.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":46260,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Wewahitchka Junior Senior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Wewahitchka Junior Senior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/gulf-county-school-district/wewahitchka-high-school/46260"}
