It's time to clean out that closet! If you have a musical instrument from your child's time in band (or when you were in band), please consider donating it to the Sheridan band program. We always have students who can benefit from a loaner if theirs is being repaired, and we have many students who are interested in learning secondary instruments. Many instruments can be put into playing condition with minor service and can continue to give someone the joy of making music.
If you have questions, please contact Gregg Scott at greggscott@sheridanschools.org or message at (501) 613-7862. He will be glad to provide you with an appraisal estimate for your donation records.
