Band Subwoofers
“It's going to impact us a lot because when we go to competitions, this is the standard of what every other high school has and we didn’t. We just want to be competitive and have that chance to make area top ten, so it's going to give us that boost of confidence and ability to compete with the big boys.”

“As a kinder teacher, it is hard to get the students engaged. When their mind and bodies are fully engaged, it helps me understand areas where they can grow faster than traditional whole-group learning. Thank you to the donors for this opportunity. It makes teaching fun and doable”
