And the project begins...

So, we are doing a personal project in history, where we have to come up with an end product (event, organization, physical product) and present it to the class in May as a Ted-style talk.  Many ideas ran through my head when we were first told about the project.  I knew I wanted to do something with music or the band program at my school.  After coming up with a few ideas, I took out the impractical ones and decided on an idea.  After talking to my director, who is also my mentor for this project, I evolved my idea even more and worked with my dad to come up with the most reliable and practical idea.  The idea is that I can write a few requests for grants and hope that they go through, but in addition have a band bowling night or a fundraising night at a local restaurant.  My goal would be to raise enough money to get something for the band room.  My director is still inconclusive of what we need for the band room, but he said if he can't think of anything I can present the money to the music boosters as a gift at the end of the year.  My hope for this project is to "leave a legacy" behind for my band program and hope that it makes a difference for them.  I am looking forward to this project and I hope my idea can turn into reality!
