Do you have an instrument to buy or sell? This is your day! The Traverse City Music Boosters holds a Used Instrument Sale on the first Saturday of the school year at Traverse City West Middle School. If you have an instrument to sell, drop it off between 9:00 am and 11:30 am. Appraisers will be available to help determine the value of your instrument. Return between 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm to pick up your check or your unsold instrument. TC Music Boosters keeps 15% of all sales to fund student scholarships and music classroom mini-grants, the rest is yours! If you would like to buy an instrument, shop from 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm. Cash, checks, and credit cards accepted. The sale is open to the public. TCAPS music teachers and students will be on hand to help you select the perfect instrument. Questions?

The Boosters also sell flowers in Spring at all performances of the West side Fall Musical. Look for our table in the Commons before the show or during intermission, to buy flowers for your cast, crew and pit musicians. You can personalize a note, and we will take care of delivery backstage!
Flowers are available for purchase at all performances of the Fall Musical in early November. Buy an individual flower or bouquet for your favorite actors, crew, and pit musicians, and we will deliver them backstage before the conclusion of the show! We are proud to provide this service and fundraiser.
Occasionally Music Boosters will sponsor special concerts and tribute events for indiduals or groups that have had significant impact on the TCAPS music program. It is our hope to spotlight these individuals/groups so that the next generation of musicians know how it is that music became so wonderful at TCAPS.
