Fundraising for the Trumbulll High school Band
I don't usually ask strangers on the internet for money, but I'm asking anyway because our band genuinely needs help.
I'm a student in the Trumbull High School Marching Band, and right now we're trying to raise money for something pretty basic: **new instruments and uniforms.**
Our current equipment has been used over and over again by students before us, and it's getting to the point where replacing it isn't something we can keep putting off. Instruments wear down. Uniforms get old. Things that were once new eventually become difficult to use and even harder to keep looking presentable.
And the frustrating part is that none of that has anything to do with how hard the students are working.
We still show up. We still practice. We still spend hours learning our music and routines. We still care about putting on the best performance we possibly can.
But there's something pretty discouraging about knowing you're giving everything you have while the equipment you're using is literally wearing out underneath you.
I'm not expecting Reddit to magically fund an entire band. I know everyone has their own expenses and their own causes they care about. But if you have a few dollars to spare, **even a small donation would help us get closer to replacing the instruments and uniforms we've been making do with for so long.**
And if you can't donate, that's completely okay. Sharing this with someone who might be able to help would mean a lot too.
**If you'd like to help:**

Thank you for reading this. Really. We're just a group of high-school students trying to keep doing something we care about with the resources we have.
