“I guess with the economic times being tough, families are having a harder time being able to pay for expenses. I’m seeing this in band at Elkridge Elementary School. More parents are asking for financial aid. The PTA, fundraising and donations have built up our instrument inventory, but I’m falling short this year,” band teacher Steve Wampler said.

If you have musical instruments gathering dust in your closets or storages places, why not donate them to the school? You would get a tax deduction and a great warm feeling when you make it possible for a child to participate in music.

Band instruments such as clarinets, flutes, trumpets, trombones, saxaphones are needed! The strings teacher, Valerie Lawrence also chimed in her need for violins, violas, cellos. For additional information, call the school at 410-313-5006.
