| How are you collaborating with other Non-Profits and School Organizations in the Virginia Peninsula Community? | PHS band involves students from Phoebus High school with other organizations within the school: sports teams, cheerleaders, Pep rallies, and the group plays music for formal events as requested by the school (special assembly to honor PHS alum Margot Lee Shetterly, award ceremonies, PTA dinner). Moreover, the band will participate in 3 area parades this fall: Southeast parade, Coliseum Central Holiday parade, and the HollyDays parade. |
| How will the Project/Program sustain or grow the community of the Virginia Peninsula of Hampton Roads? | Citizens of the Virginia Peninsula of Hampton Roads benefit by having active, engaged students who are learning self-discipline, teamwork, and confidence in a safe environment. These students are positive role models to their peers and thus to the community. |
| Please give a brief description of how the Project/Program will be planned, organized and executed? | The monies will be used to send section leaders to Band camp at the University of Virginia. Those students chosen for camp will be expected to return to Phoebus and recreate their experience for those students who did not go. Ideally, these students will grow in confidence and leadership, directing their fellow students into an organization in which they all feel pride and play a vital role. |
| Please add any additional information you would like to share. | The February grant award of $2800 has been saved for band camp. This request is for the remaining amount needed to cover band camp costs: $3195. The Phoebus marching band students are aware and thankful for all grant awards received from Community Knights. Community Knights have helped these students gain confidence and we cannot thank you enough for your assistance. |
