It's really important that the clarinet and alto saxophone students use a good quality reed in order to get a nice sound from their instrument. \r\n\r\nThe student playing clarinet is in their second year learning the clarinet and would not be in the program if we did not provide an instrument. This student is preparing to do a solo at our concert and was playing on a knock-off brand reed that made the tone sound weak. They were really happy when they received the new Rico reed and noticed the sound difference right away. They felt much more confident after that knowing that they will have a working reed for the performance.","fullyFundedDate":1729969474524,"projectUrl":"project/reeds-for-beginner-clarinet-and-alto-sax/8887442/","projectTitle":"Reeds for Beginner Clarinet and Alto Saxophone","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gallagher","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/gallagherband"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_4764","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":464,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":38,"percentAsian":37,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":51,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"20.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":73.6,"schoolId":4764,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Holly Oak Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Holly Oak Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/evergreen-school-district/holly-oak-elementary-school/4764"}
