Its All About That Bass

The Description

With these funds I will be able to...finally purchase an Upright Bass for our Orchestra. For the past nine years our school Orchestra has played concerts out in the greater Houston community for The Jewish Federation of Houston, Seven Acres Retirement Center as well as the global consulting group Accenture at the Sonesta Hotel. We have never been able to afford an Upright Bass because of budget constraints so I am reaching out to the greater PledgeCents community to help us find a way to buy an Upright Bass for our Orchestra Ensemble. Instruments like these are high dollar items that are not expected to be purchased by a student, yet we have never been able to have enough of a budget to purchase one for our school, and now you can help, because “it takes a village”! An instrument such as this: http://www.wwbw.com/Palatino-Billy-Bass-3-4-Size-Upright-Bass-620073-i1448938.wwbw will be a life changing experience for a child that would otherwise never be able to afford to learn how to play such an instrument.

Back Up Plan

If I do not meet my goal I will purchase an inexpensive Electric Bass :(

Thank you to all who donated.

Even though we were not able to reach our goal, these funds will be used toward the purchase of much needed supplies for our program.

Thank you again for your support!
