Music touches the soul and heals the spirit…D123 wants to help heal the spirit of those music students in Washington, Illinois.
The OLHMS music department and Band Parents Association is collecting funds for those affected by the recent tornadoes in Washington, IL.The destruction in Washington, Illinois obviously left many families with very little, including their music students' instruments and music supplies. "As a band teacher, I can't imagine how difficult that must be, on top of everything else the families are dealing with," expresses Mrs. Beth Lyons, OLHMS Band Director and former Washington, Illinois Summer Band Teacher.
"I think we could certainly make a difference and help our students learn about reaching out to their long-distance band family." Mrs. Lyons has contacted both the Illinois Music Education Association and the Washington High School Band Boosters about setting up a program to accept monetary donations to help with replacing instruments, music, and supplies.
The fundraiser is in conjunction with our upcoming winter concerts. The Beginning Band Concert is December 3, OLHMS Winter Band Concert is December 13, and OLHMS Choral Concert is December 17. All concerts are scheduled for 7:00 pm.
