Instrument Fund - Donated instruments are repaired and then loaned to kids whose parents are currently unable to afford rental or ownership. If they stay in their school bands until graduation, they then own the instrument. Currently there are 103 instruments in use.
Lessons are for beginners and then students are converted to private instruction.
We need operable bassoons badly. Grants - We donate funds to worthy individuals and groups for such things as instruments, lessons, camps, teaching materials, etc. Double Reed Festival - This is also an annual event, in May of each year, for oboe and bassoon players on the west coast of Florida. Master classes, ensemble playing, reed making, introduction to English horn, instrument care, etc. They perform for the public in the evening.
