Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 389

The One Band, One Sound classroom grant was utilized to order a full drumline for Seacrest Country Day School. This purchase was the first drumline that the school has ever had and has opened the doors for more students to enter the world of music. The students have had the opportunity to learn how to tune, carry, and perform on these instruments. Next school year there will be a drumline present for all home soccer games and any other sporting event at Seacrest. The students and families are excited for the possibilities that this will bring for the school.

Original Grant Overview

Goal

To instill a love of music for all students. 

 

What will be done with my students

The students will have the opportunity to experience the teamwork of being on a drumline. We will perform at school functions, be able to start an indoor drumline group, perform on third for the Christmas lighting, and many more experiences. Performing in a drumline helps students with eye/hand coordination, teamwork, and creates a sense of belonging in a drumline family atmosphere. The students have never had this opportunity and will greatly benefit from this experience.  

 

Benefits to my students

Currently Seacrest does not have a drumline. With the purchase of these drums we can offer more experiences for our students both at Seacrest and out in our community.  

 

Budget Narrative

This will help rebuild the band program at Seacrest.
