I decided to use my newly purchased percussion equipment with my 7th and 8th grade 12-1-1 classes.

Every class we watch a video from a drum line or marching band and it inspires them to play the drums. \r\n\r\nMy students were super excited for the new equipment. Once they saw the drum sticks they knew what they were going to be doing. Even though they were expecting to play on a real drum right away, they soon warmed up to the practice pads because of how quiet they could be. Every class they are excited to play the drums and let off some steam.\r\n\r\nMy next step for my students would be creating a drumline. After watching all the videos and marching bands, they can not wait for the next step in their musical adventure. I hope that eventually we can get the supplies for marching instruments and start performing at various school events.","fullyFundedDate":1735689706536,"projectUrl":"project/percussive-progressions/8979825/","projectTitle":"Percussive Progressions","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Tan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9268591"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_762","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":296,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":80,"percentAsian":8,"percentBlack":59,"percentWhite":7,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":18,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"13.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":72.3,"schoolId":762,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Intermediate School 381 on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Intermediate School 381","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/is-381/762"}
