Please consider donating your used (in good condition) instruments to CCS today! Our goal in the music department is to expand access to instrumental music for all students and continue to grow our programs with young, enthusiastic musicians! We are accepting flutes, clarinets, saxophones, trumpets, trombones, practice pads, and bell kits. We are NOT accepting keyboards, pianos, guitars, or drum sets at this time.
Drop-off your instrument at one of the CMS main offices during the school day and leave your name and email address. We will also have a table set up at CMS Fine Arts Night (March 5th 6-7pm) or CHS Arts in Common (March 25 7-8pm). Reach out to Heather Wood with questions!
