Boardman Band: Marching For Wheels!

Hello! We are the Boardman Spartan Marching Band  from Youngstown, Ohio. We are going on our 90th year of existence and excellence, proud to be marching 180+ students on and off the field every friday in fall. This year, two of those students are Kaitlin and Blake Windt . Kaitlin and Blake have both been diagnosed with Freidreich's Ataxia  at birth, a severe combination of body-weakening syndromes that prevent the Windt's from normal activities like marching. With full support from parents Howard Windt and Chrissy Longley, the kids embrace their musical talents and positive personalities through marching with the Boardman Band. Their everyday wheelchairs get them through the school hallways just fine, but not on turf or grass where the band performs. While at band camp, we were lucky to borrow the facility's athletic wheelchair for Kaitlin to use. The wheelchair made it easy for Kailtlin to perform and easy for the volunteers who pushed her through the drill. Since then, we've been determined to secure a similar chair for the band to use with Kaitlin or any other student in need. Now with Blake coming up, we're going to need two! With your help, Kaitlin, Blake, and all future band members in need will be able to fully participate in the Tradition of Musical Excellence - The Boardman Spartan Marching Band!
