This is important to the band department as recording systems give students feedback on their performances so that they can improve. The band room currently has a recording system but it is not keen enough to support the improvement needed for this highly talented, motivated, and competitive band department. Mike Beard, an audio engineer, band booster parent, and owner ofJMB Audio- CommericalSound and AV Systems of Hillsborough has agreed to upgrade our system at cost. He did this a few years ago for the Choral Department and that group has benefited greatly from the new equipment. 4. Budget Sheet (Attached) 5.
