Communal Sound

I run an outfit called Communal Sound. I've been doing this for a few year, just gave the thing a name. Basically it's a communal sound system that is open for anyone to use.

About this idea
There is a HUGE hole in the West Michigan music scene. Many venues (bars, patios, whatnots) expect bands to provide there own systems for live gigs. It's honestly not great, very exhausting, and the equipment is expensive enough for this to become a gatekeeping tactic. So, I wanna upgrade my system I've already pieced together, have funding for repairs, and be able to promote it beyond my current network of communal noise makers.
Impact
Free sound for all.
What I'll do with $5,000
Buy chords, a subwoofer, a few stage monitors, and save for future repairs. And some good ol grassroots advertisement
