Next week we will be a drop off location for Bringing Music to Life's 2015 Instrument Drive.
From March 16th to March 28th we will take gently used band and orchestra instruments. This includes strings, brass, woodwinds, percussion and guitars. With the exception of pianos and organs, we will accept all instruments in good condition!
Please take donations to the back counter and fill out paperwork with our staff. Thanks for supporting this great cause!!

Donate an Instrument and Change a Child’s Life
The Instrument Drive is back!
After a one year hiatus, the instrument drive, now produced by Bringing Music to Life, will be held in Denver and throughout Colorado March 16-28. Bringing Music to Life was founded and is directed by Steve Blatt, who established and ran the instrument drives at Colorado Public Radio.
“Over the course of four drives,” Blatt said, “we distributed nearly 2,000 orchestra and band instruments to more than 100 schools throughout Colorado. We’re looking forward to reaching even more children this year.”
If you have a gently-used band or orchestra instrument that is no longer being played, please bring it to one of the drop-off locations. It will be repaired and awarded to a deserving, underfunded music program, and you’ll be giving the gift of music to a child in Colorado.
“If you don’t have an instrument, you can still help by contributing to the repair fund,” Blatt explained. “Instrument repairs are the single greatest expense of the program, with the average repair costing nearly $100.”
There are 17 donation locations for the March drive. Complete information is available at the website: www.bringmusic.org.
