Help Mr. Henderson of Dunwoody High obtain a New Marching Band Podium for DHS Marching Band

My students need a new marching band podium as the current one is old and badly needs replacing. 
Click on the following link to donate to the Dunwoody High School Marching Band: 
 For the first week of the campaign, if you add the promo code LIFTOFF at checkout, your donation will be doubled up to $50!

My Students

Our high school marching band is a vibrant, enthusiastic group of students who love their band program and school! We work hard to achieve excellence which begins with summer camp in July.
Students may participate in concert band, symphonic band, as well as the Georgia Music Educators Association Small and Large Group Performance Evaluations.
Our marching band program is an integral part of the overall program. 

One hundred percent of funding for our programs comes from band dues, fundraising and donations. It is extremely important that we are there for our students when they are in need. Music is our passion and will be with us for the rest of our lives.

My Project

The drum major of a marching band has the honor of holding one of the most important positions. They are the leader and everyone looks up to him or her for inspiration and guidance. A new podium will allow us to provide the best opportunity for our students and will enable smooth set up and take down during games and marching band competitions.
This is a larger podium that we currently have which will allow for more than one drum major to practice at the same time.
It will also give our aspiring drum majors a platform to train together with our experienced drum majors.

Our marching band is excited to know that our project is now fully funded thanks to kind donations from you! It is inspiring to know that we have so much support both within and outside our community. We can't wait to start using it at our next performance and look forward to sharing photographs and experiences with you.
