Instrument Drive for Thomas Kelly High School Band
WHEN:
Now through September 1, 2021!
The NEED:
Thomas Kelly High School music programs have more students than instruments! In the past, students had their own mouthpieces for instruments but shared the instruments themselves. This is no longer feasible during the pandemic.
Additionally, student enrollment in Thomas Kelly High School band and orchestra programs has been growing! There won’t be enough instruments to go around without your help!
The MISSION:
We need donations of used instruments in good condition for Thomas Kelly High School band students! These are the critical needs:
flutes
alto saxophones
trumpets/cornets
trombones
baritones/euphoniums
tubas
string instruments: including cellos, basses, violins and violas
