Cooper Farms Grant Awarded to the Paulding Band

This past fall, the Cooper Family Foundation awarded a generous $4,000 grant to the Paulding Band Program. Thanks to this support, the program was able to purchase a brand-new sousaphone for the marching band. Pictured below is Dianne Cooper carrying the new sousaphone, joined by two Paulding sousaphone players.

The grant also made it possible to purchase four student-model clarinets and four student-model flutes, helping ensure that every student has access to an instrument and the opportunity to participate in band.

The Paulding Band Program extends its heartfelt thanks to the Cooper Family Foundation for their continued support. Just two years ago, the foundation’s generosity allowed the program to purchase an entirely new drumline. The Paulding Band Program is truly grateful for the Cooper Family Foundation’s ongoing commitment to music education and our students.
