SUMMER 2025
1st Annual ARPS Instrument Drive
THE GREAT NEWS: Student performing arts participation is growing!
THE HELP WE NEED: Starting with the greatest need for several Trombones, Trumpets, Flutes and Saxophones, and yes we also need Clarinets, Oboes, Bassoons, Piccolos, Tubas, Violins, Cellos and even Percussion!
PLAN A: Help by donating Band and Orchestra instruments to the program directly if you have a clean instrument in good repair.
Please ask around to see if your friends or family may also have an instrument to donate. The FPA can provide confirmation letters if you need ne from an incorporated non-profit organization.
If school is in session, the Band and Orchestra teachers in your school can receive your donated instruments. Over the Summer, the local Prindle School of Music will gladly receive your donated instruments. To donate your used instrument this Summer, contact The Prindle School at 413-341-1689 or info@theprindleschool.com and they will be glad to arrange a convenient drop off at their Hadley location on Rt. 9 just over the Amherst line.
PLAN B: Donate directly to the FPA Rising Musician Fund to purchase refurbished Band and Orchestra instruments: https://donorbox.org/rising-performers-instrument-fund
