Instruments for a Growing Band

Our band program is growing faster than ever before—and that’s music to our ears! This past year, we’ve seen a remarkable increase in student interest. More young musicians are eager to join and learn than we currently have instruments to provide.

To meet the needs of our expanding ensemble, we are seeking support to add essential instruments and gear to our collection. These additions will allow every student to have a voice in our performances—whether they’re just beginning their musical journey or building on years of experience.

Items We’re Hoping to Fund:

  • Eastar AS-Ⅱ Alto Saxophone – A reliable and student-friendly horn for our growing sax section
  • Eastar TS-Ⅱ Tenor Saxophone – Adds depth and harmony, perfect for ensemble blend
  • Giardinelli GPC-300 Piccolo – A bright, essential voice in both concert and marching settings
  • Glory GLY-PBK Bb Clarinet – An accessible yet professional-quality option for beginner and intermediate clarinetists
  • Innovative Percussion FS-PR2 Paul Rennick Marching Snare Sticks – Designed for advanced technique and durability
  • FBX Field Series Bass Mallets (XS, Medium, XL) – A complete set for dynamic marching percussion needs
  • GTX Series Timpani Mallet (Hard/Staccato) – Ideal for crisp articulation in concert band music
  • Nylon Retractable Brushes (Light) – For use in jazz band and delicate concert passages

How You Can Help:

Your generous support helps us place quality instruments and equipment into the hands of talented, motivated students—many of whom would not otherwise have access. These resources support daily rehearsals and performances while also building student confidence, responsibility, and a lifelong love for music.

We invite you to donate to our DonorsChoose project to help fund these specific items. Every contribution brings us one note closer to our goal!

Additionally, if you have any old instruments in good condition sitting in your attic, closet, or garage, please consider donating them to our band program. Even if they’re in need of a little TLC, we’ll gladly give them a new life in the hands of a young musician.

Thank You!

Thank you for helping us build a program where every student has a place—and every note has a voice.
