The Bring Your Music to School instrument drive for Williamson County Schools was a big success. Staff, parents, community members and businesses came together to donate unused and some new instruments to the cause. During the month of March more than 25 instruments were collected.
Guitars, saxophones, flutes, clarinets, trumpets, violins, a drum set and a trombone were among the cash. This will increase availability to performing arts students that would not have been able to participate otherwise. The Nashville Symphony even procured the donation of a Tuba for Fairview Middle School from manufacturer KHS America.
Shuff’s Music is in the process of valuing the donations and making any needed repairs. “It has been an honor and a privilege to work with the schools and the community on this project,” said WCS Fine Arts Curriculum Specialist Melissa Dufrechou. “I’ve been taken aback by the tremendous amount of time and support we’ve received from so many people including generous donations from teachers, administrators, central office staff and community members.” Total donations are estimated at over $10,000.
