My Project

Certain band instruments, like clarinet and saxophone, require reeds in order to play. Vandoren is a trusted brand that helps provide students with the confidence to be more successful in class and during performances. Our band program has many students who are hungry for knowledge and want to go above and beyond.

All students should have the opportunity to play on high-quality reeds.

Reeds are an extra expense throughout a musician's journey because they do not last long-term. There are students within our program who are not always able to afford reeds on a regular basic, and our goal is to be prepared to provide materials for those in need.

Mrs. Chambless will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 8.
