Pacific West
Music of the Blind
Marching Band
This project has a few critical components in work you might be able to help out:
1) Attach PWMB logo to our uniforms
We would like to not march in a public parade in just white t-shirts and jeans. As a set of marching uniforms have recently been received, we have a BIG ask to have our logo placed on the uniform! Is there any tapestry talent to attach our PWMB logo?
Yeah! This is being answered
by a local school district
with their older uniforms!
2) New Haptics Device
Needed Funds
This is a cool and innovative haptic devices will be worn by each of the blind and low vision marchers. This will keep everyone in the marching unit in designed straight rows and columns. This will enable the PWMB marching band to appear like any other conventional marching band! PLEASE Read about how Cal Poly is making this a reality at our website!!
These individual devices will be worn on each of the marchers' shakos (hats) and are not cheap, however once you see them march for the first time--this will be PRICELESS! This system requires a centralized server and radio communications with municipal GPS towers.
Please consider a donation to support this to production and a parade!
3) Marching Band Members
Individuals
Needed
This is the element that will make everything look and sound like any other band. Their individual gift of learning and practicing their instrument will be crucial and needed as each of them team together to operate and perform as a team like no other marching band!
Blind low vision musicians are needed to take on something that has never been done before! Do you know of anyone who would like to be a part of this adventure? If so, please contact us.
