"Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue." - Plato

The Dana Hills High School Band Program is a public school program offered to high school students who enjoy being involved with music. For some, it is a fun way to work on their music skills, whereas for others it is a path to pursuing music at a collegiate and professional level. Unfortunately, our school district has been cutting funds to the art programs, and as a result the music program has gone unfunded for several years, relying only on donations. We are badly in need of new instruments, as our students are playing on damaged instruments which are hindering the band’s overall performance. Since we are a public school program, we cannot require our members to pay a fee to participate in music programs, nor must they purchase their own instrument to play on, especially because many quality instruments cost much more than an average family is willing to invest in.

What We Need & What You Get

We are trying to raise $1,100. After processing fees, this will enable us to purchase a new piccolo to replace the damaged one the band currently owns. The current piccolo our players are using has leaking pads which make it nearly impossible to play at an above average level. Piccolo is an essential instrument in marching band, because it can be heard much louder than flute. However, it is very difficult to motivate our flute players to switch to piccolo when they cannot play on an instrument which functions properly.
Our band students need every dollar they can get. When you donate $20 or more, your name will be featured on our website as well as in all of our concert programs and other materials we produce throughout the year. If you donate $100, we will engrave your name into the case of the new piccolo we purchase. Whoever donates $250 will receive his or her name engraved in the case along with a special thank you message for all future students to see. 

The Impact

Music is an invaluable addition to the academic curriculum our students immerse themselves with at school. Music is an exercise of the mind, and there is a correlation between involvement with music and higher grades and test scores. It is difficult for students to stay involved with music if they do not have the necessary instruments to play. With your help, we can replace one damaged piccolo, a step on the road of improvement.

Other Ways You Can Help

We understand that not everyone who wants to help can do so financially. If you cannot contribute financially to our program, please share our story on Facebook, Twitter, or other forms of social media to spread the word.
