Your donations and passion for music education and the arts are critical for the success of young musicians. Walking in, my students did not have access to the equipment they need and deserve. While it is a career long process to acquire that, donations like yours allow us to pursue the path of greatness for generations to come.\r\n\r\nWhen the new flute arrived, all the students commented how \"shiny\" and \"new\" it was. It showed me how used to using warn out instruments they are. It was a great feeling being able to provide them with something new that was only theirs. I cannot do that on my own, but only from the backing of donors like you. It is my desire that my kids know that they have a community of supports that back them that they may never see.\r\n\r\nThe next steps for the Bulls Gap Band is to continue raising funds for more instruments. My students seldomly can provide their own horns and equipment, so we must supply it. More importantly though, I want to fund raise for something for the students. We plan to take the kids to Dollywood in the spring to reward them for their constant hard work and dedication to the program. I am excited to see their hard work continue to pay off everyday, and it is only because of the supporters that back them. Thank you again for your generous donation all, we could not brighten these kids lives through the power of music without you.","fullyFundedDate":1758078678528,"projectUrl":"project/buy-our-schools-first-ever-flute/9688503/","projectTitle":"Buy Our School's First Ever Flute!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Mahan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10243384_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y504&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757094866936","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10243384"},{"teacherId":8332533,"projectId":9537927,"letterContent":"The student athletes are so excited about the new basketball shooting machine.
