Do you have a band instrument at home that is no longer being used? Our school is collecting gently used instruments to become part of the district instrument loan inventory. This allows RSU5 to lend instruments to families in need for free.
We are looking for flutes, clarinets, saxophones, trumpets, trombones, baritones, & percussion kits. If you would like to contribute, please drop off instruments at the main office during regular hours. Your generosity will help our program grow and give students the gift of music.
Thank you for your support!
