Some kids do not get musical enrichment for lack of an instrument. I know many people have quality musical instruments lying unused and collecting dust. Please consider donating a usable musical instrument which can become a springboard for a future musician. I have been in the Boy Scouts since first grade, and I am now working on my Eagle rank. I have set a goal of obtaining 20 instruments, all of which will be donated to local schools.
Many old instruments require repair.
I will accept cash donations that will be used solely for repairs of instruments and cases. A full listing of all contributors will be enclosed in the music programs of schools receiving instruments. I will arrange pickup of all instruments with other members of Boy Scout Troop 6. So far I have received two violins, four clarinets, one keyboard, a cornet, and an organ which will be sold and the money donated to the fund. The cornet, donated by a musician who plays in the area, has already been given to the band teacher at Goleta Valley Junior High because he had a student who needed it.
