Having the proper equipment on a woodwind instrument is paramount. Many of our kids cannot afford to purchase their reeds when their old ones wear out.
Therefore they will play too long on an old reed causing bad tone and even health problems. With the purchase of these reeds our students will have the opportunity to have better tone making it possible for many of them to advance to another level. Many of them will make regional and state bands making them eligible to get scholarships which will change their lives forever. This may be their only chance to go to a state college or university.
