The GCF grant award is to assist the Eleanor Roosevelt High School band program in creating a music library to properly organize, access and protect the scores used by its four concert bands and smaller, specialized groups. Specifically, they look to purchase seven storage units that hold 250 pieces of music each. This will also “maximize space” allowing “room for smaller ensembles to rehearse” and increasing “the ability to host guest performers,” says Rachel Zephir, band teacher. The ERHS band performs at many Greenbelt events like the Festival of Lights Arts and Crafts Fair and even commemorated the opening of the new Greenbelt Music and Arts. http://erhsbands.weebly.com/
