For many years, we have been making do, or doing without as far as instruments go. I love it when a family makes a choice to purchase an instrument for their child, but for some, this is a huge sacrifice. Many of our trombones have seen better days and their slides don't slide nicely (the biggest issue). While this is ONE trombone, it is one more student who will be able to play trombone for years to come. While it currently looks pretty under the Christmas Tree, I am looking forward to seeing the look on one of my 6th graders face when I tell her there's a new trombone for her to use.

I am looking forward to doing some sight reading next week since our Christmas concert is tonight. These pieces are class C & Class M in the WSMA required Concert Band list. While we have some music in both those classes, every year's band is different based on the number of students and what instruments they play, and ability levels. This flex music will help with that, expecially since in the last couple years since COVID, WSMA added a Flex Music class, which is still evolving and growing as more composers work their magic. This adaptable (Flex) music allows smaller bands like ours with unique instrumentation the chance to perform at the difficulty level they can handle without losing the integrity of the piece. This music will give my bands a chance to show their talent.

This project brought us three new flutes into our band room. It's like Christmas in here! A couple of our flutes work, but have their issues: a screw keeps working it's way out or a foot or head joint are too loose so we use a miniscule piece of transparent tape on to keep it from falling out (and creating more damage). These three Jean Paul flutes, while not the top of the line, are perfectly affordable instruments for young students. They look beautiful (you should have seen the 6th graders eyes!!!), and play nicely. Some even wanted to practice more! Ha! Thank you for putting instruments into the hands of my students who otherwise would not have been able to afford playing in band.","fullyFundedDate":1763986068030,"projectUrl":"project/facinating-flute-2/9897190/","projectTitle":"Facinating Flute 2","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Angelo-Peterson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4468745_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1495552784057","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4468745"},{"teacherId":4468745,"projectId":9753177,"letterContent":"This project ended up being a bigger blessing than I had planned. Originally I was going to let my HS Sophomore use this new flute and use her flute (which we would put a piece of tape to keep the foot joint on) to a younger student. However, in the meantime, another flute totally stopped working and the repair shop deemed it not worth fixing. I let her use mine. Then this project was funded! Yet that flute wasn't available. So I asked for 3 other flutes (less expensive). Also not available. Finally I did a special request and was able to get a total of 3 new Jean Paul Flutes (a decent mid-range flute). I was suddenly able to let my sophomore use a new flute, and my MS girl (the one opening the flute in the pictures) a new flute as well. She was SOOOO excited.

Personally, I can't wait to introduce them to the Buccaneers (since we are the Buccaneers!) and my 5th graders to Popocorn Prelude this spring.
