Assistance is needed!
The Drama department is looking to borrow a "Boombox" for the upcoming play. The speaker would need to be battery operated and loud enough to project sound through the auditorium, but just loud enough to have the effect of background noise. The speaker would either need to be Bluetooth compatible or have an auxiliary input. The closer to 1980's style the better. If you are interested in helping, please contact Mrs. Lafary at (309)547-2288. Thank you!
