My Project

Our students have been working hard on the show, "A Year with Frog and Toad." Since it is our school's first play and a musical, our school does not have the sound equipment necessary for our students to be heard well. Additionally, our stage is in the cafeteria, where there are many loud noises from running appliances.

Microphone and speaker cables will be essential components to running sound equipment (which is being fundraised in a separate project).

100-foot speaker cables will help connect our borrowed speakers, and 50-foot mic cables will help connect choir mics, all the way across the cafeteria to the sound board. The 5-mic cables will connect headset microphones (also being sourced through a special project).

Our 1st - 6th-grade students have worked harder on this show than I have ever seen them work, and the necessary sound equipment will ensure that their proud parents, teachers, and classmates will be able to hear how wonderful they sound.
