School John H Walker Middle School Grade Level(s) 7 8 Teacher Name (Published) Vincent Vicchiariello Wish Area Music Amount Requested $117.80 Wish Description The students at John H. Walker Middle School work diligently daily to better themselves as musicians. Percussion mallets are a vital part of their development and playing throughout the school year. These mallets/equipment will be used on a daily basis during Concert Band, Symphonic Band and Zero Period Band, in addition to performances for our concerts and festivals and during Percussion Ensemble rehearsals and performances. These new mallets will go very well with our BRAND NEW vibraphone that was funded through a grant by the Nutley Educational Foundation in partnership with the Nutley Music Booster's Association. Mallets do show their age after a few years of use. Our current mallets are going on their third year of use and are in bad shape. With this wish, new mallets/equipment will be put directly into the students' hands! Balter Artist Series Rattan 45R Med.
