We have raised $770 of our $4,000 goal! Please consider contributing today!!!!
Our marching band is growing and is in need of some new equipment for our show this season. We require a drum set cart, new drum harnesses, marching cymbals, drum stands, microphones and other audio gear. There is a possibility we will be using timpani in the show. If that happens, we will need to have the marching band timpani refurbished.
