  • Instrument Connection Program

    INSTRUMENT CONNECTION PROGRAM: This program reaches out to the Waukegan Public School students to provide them with necessary instruments and instrument supplies in order to participate in various musical experiences that will promote education, experience, and growth that they may not otherwise be able to participate in. This program receives donations of used instruments and then repairs them, cleans them, and offers them to Waukegan students that are interested in learning the instrument. Some of the refurbished instruments are sold at cost to students who would like to "Own Your Own." All other donated instruments and musical supplies were given to the Waukegan Public School for use in classrooms. The revenue includes donations of used instruments ($44,809); a donation from the Waukegan Public Schools to assist with the cleaning of all of the gently used instruments ($22,556); and "Own Your Own" student purchases (at cost) for refurbished instruments they can call their own ($2,750).
