"Students in Concert Choir and Concert Band, the Jazz Choir and Jazz Band, and the Americana Project Class will benefit from the equipment in being able to document their hard work and progress," said music teacher Jody Henderson.

"Enough equipment was given to the school to set up a complete digital audio recording studio," Henderson said. "This will be a first-time resource opportunity for the students of the Sisters School District. Buying a recording studio package such as this one would have cost the district well over $10,000."

Fitzjarrel has been a life-long musician and had put together a high-quality studio recording system for his own use.

However, he is also a business owner and active in community service organizations and wasn't using the equipment to its full potential.

He decided to donate the equipment where it could be put to the best use.

"The more I thought about it, the better I felt about it," he said.

Henderson and his students certainly feel pretty good about the donation.
