Because of your donation, we were able to acquire Bluetti battery packs and PreSonus line array speakers — and we can't express how transformational these tools have already been for our students and their 2025 marching band production.\r\n\r\nWhen the equipment first arrived, our students were excited that we were getting to use professional gear. There was so much excitement as the gear arrived — they instantly recognized that this was something special, something that said: your learning experience matters.\r\n\r\nSince then, the resources have opened up a whole new world of possibilities. The battery packs have allowed us to take our sound production beyond the walls of the classroom and to the field without tons of cables. Students now get to engage with their environment in creative, hands-on experiences which allow them to become even more competitive.\r\n\r\nThe line array speakers have elevated our performances and presentations to a completely new level. The clarity and power of the sound system have made every instrument heard.\r\n\r\nYour support has done so much more than provide materials — it's amplified student voices, empowered creativity, and helped us reimagine what learning can look and sound like. Thank you for giving our students the tools to dream bigger and reach further.","fullyFundedDate":1746787354358,"projectUrl":"project/new-season-and-new-sounds/9245938/","projectTitle":"New Season and New Sounds","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Stockton","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6595689_orig.jpg?crop=2714,2714,x0,y298&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1687524704193","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/cherawbands"},{"teacherId":6595689,"projectId":8912627,"letterContent":"We greatly appreciate your generous donations to the development of our jazz program here at Cheraw High.
