Because of this our band's sound has greatly improved with this \"glue\" to improve the ebb and flow of the music we play.\r\nBecause of your donations and help, my students musical journeys in music education are ones that include so much more \"color\" of sound.

We were able to scan some students. We cleaned up the files and were able to 3D print them! I even was able to put one student's head on Spider-Man's body and print that. \r\n\r\nWe also started working with the arts class. We have taken some of their pieces and 3D scanned them and 3D printed 1/2 scale models of them. It was very exciting to present the art student with 3D model of her work.
