My apologies for the delay in giving an update on this. The recording devices purchased have so far been used at 5 schools in Oregon. This sharing has led to: over 300 student recorded auditions, 30+ band recordings, and ~50 hours of adjudicator feedback at band/choir festivals. The recorders have even leant themselves to be used at several professional development events geared towards the music teachers across multiple schools as well.\r\n\r\nAt The Dalles High School alone, I have ~50 students each year using the recording devices for All-State, Solo/Ensemble, and college auditions. Because of your support and donations, we have been able to create high quality recordings for each of these events which has led to several students performing with groups across the state and gaining acceptance into several colleges across the state and country.","fullyFundedDate":1704398251961,"projectUrl":"project/professional-recordings-for-not-1-but-5/8041091/","projectTitle":"Professional Recordings for Not 1 but 5 Schools?!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Kelly","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6848325_orig.jpg?crop=554,554,x0,y21&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1773945479029","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6848325"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_88389","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":795,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":77,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":45,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":44,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"18.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":55.8,"schoolId":88389,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about The Dalles High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"The Dalles High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oregon/north-wasco-county-school-district-21/dalles-wahtonka-high-school-dalles/88389"}
