As soon as students began playing on them, they noticed how similar they feel and respond compared to traditional cane reeds. That familiarity gave them an instant sense of confidence, allowing them to focus on making music instead of worrying about whether their reed would work.\r\n\r\nStudents were excited to try them right away, and many commented on how consistent and reliable they felt. One of the biggest takeaways from day one was how much they appreciated being able to clean and maintain the reeds—something that will help them keep a stable setup over time. Knowing they can depend on their equipment has already made them more comfortable playing in rehearsal.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, these reeds will be used daily as we continue developing tone, intonation, and ensemble balance. With consistent, dependable reeds, our students can build stronger habits and take more ownership of their sound. Your support has already made a difference on day one, and it will continue to impact their growth throughout the years—thank you for investing in our students.","fullyFundedDate":1774470554147,"projectUrl":"project/give-our-double-reeds-a-voice/10164959/","projectTitle":"Give Our Double Reeds a Voice","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Rendon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10341477_orig.jpg?crop=351,351,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1770695500892","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10341477"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_4012","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1542,"numTeachers":79,"percentFrplEligible":54,"percentAsian":32,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":7,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":48,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"19.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":78.0,"schoolId":4012,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Arroyo High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Arroyo High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/san-lorenzo-unified-school-district/arroyo-high-school/4012"}
