At our Instrument Presentation Ceremony held this year on August 12th, fifty-two Title 1 schools and music programs with a majority of students receiving free or reduced-cost lunches were awarded 770 band and orchestra instruments.
Here’s what some of them had to say when they heard the news that they had been selected…
“Thank you so much! We are definitely in need of more instruments to serve more of our students here at Adams City Middle School.” -Brian K. Jordan, Adams City Middle School
“OH MY GOODNESS!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! We literally were not going to have enough instruments for incoming band members – this is AMAZING!!!” -Kristi Craig, Stratton Schools
“Thank you. This is exciting news for our musicians and the music program. This will really assist us in bringing music to more of our students and give us an opportunity to expand our program. Thank you so much for this donation and we look forward to the ceremony.” -Fred A. Segura, Ersilia Cruz Middle School
“We are well into auditions for The School of Rock production for Spring of 2024 so these instruments are a gift we will utilize daily and the students will now have professional instruments.” -Maria Hedrick, Aurora Science and Tech Middle School
