I've got the velcro numbered dots on the floor, ready for my kiddos so they know exact spot to sit when they come in (their name with number will be shown on the board). The shelves and organizers are in the band office, making it much easier for me and the students to find what we need (reeds, cleaning clothes, valve oil, screwdrivers, screws, pads, and more). I can simply tell them to look at the shelf, or I can easily grab it myself. It is SOOO nice to be able to organize all of this.\r\n\r\nWith another project, I was able to give my 8-12th band new folders, now I have pencils to put in them (giving them no excuse to not have one! Each of the band kids grades 5-12 will get one. Having the blue folders allows me to give each of my younger students their own folder for classwork as well. and I LOVE THE STICKERS! So will the kids. I've already used the TPT gift card to get some materials for my MS and my beginning band. I've got my eye on a couple for the special needs music kids, I'm just waiting to see exactly how to use it best.

While smaller folders are less expensive, they don't hold the printed music which is bigger than 8 1/2\" x 11\". These folders have nice brass corners to stand up to bumping. They have a pencil holder (and you've helped provide pencils in our classroom basics projects so they can't say the don't have one!). They have nice wide pockets and are strong to hold all the music and workbooks we use through the year. I am soooo thankful for these as our old ones were cheaper vinyl ones where the cover was already starting to tear away from the corners.

We will be using the cooler come next Saturday (when I'll fill it with ice and water and juice pouches) for after the parade.

When we do some small group type things, it's easier for them to hold a microphone that they don't have to worry about tripping over a wire while they perform.

This table is stable, easily moved through doorways to the gym and has a little room next to it for other percussion and mallets the bell player might need.

This box of music books has something for all ages! Some picture books. Some board books. Some easy chapter books. Some thicker chapter books. All of them about music and music topics! \r\n\r\nAdding these to the books I already have, I will have an amazing set of books to use for various times. I will be using these to read during 4/5th grade music classes, have books for stations (while others are at bells, recorders, task cards, etc.), and potentially even for upper level classes for make-up assignments. In general, having books helps both musical literacy and reading skills. Because of the amount of diversity in the books, I have something for everyone, and about various people groups and disabilities.

This project helped add to my class A alto saxophone solos, my class B & C tenor sax solos and added a few more saxophone trios and quartets to the files.

He couldn't believe that 1) someone bought some new saxophones for the band, and that 2) HE gets to play one of them!

The composer books will help me teach about several composers, also making nice worksheets for days I am absent or when we have virtual days. One book I really enjoyed looking through is a book of music games that I can see my 5-7th grade students really getting into and learning in the process.

One of my two students who play the bell set the most was here when it arrived, so we did an unboxing. Her smile! The pictures did not do justice to her excitement. Needless to say, we put the new bell set on a rolling desk, brought it down to the gym for our concert and put it to immediate use. When my 6th grader saw it at the concert, he just looked at me in amazement. Yes. You make a difference. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
