Success!! Let the music play on.

If music be the food of love, play on - Shakespeare


The fundraiser was a HUGE success!! Final numbers are in. We needed about $3K for instrument repairs, overhauls, and maintenance to get this program back up and running again. That is an insurmountable number for our demographic and socio-economic area.... We netted over $3500. It's a miracle in this small town! The concert was a lot of fun. The Pikes Peak Highlanders are a class act and did really well. My kids performed decently. The silent auction was the biggest money maker. Thank you to all whom donated, etc. Yes, we even had two PMAG's auctioned off and no one in admin batted an eye, lol. It was great.

Now just to get the money to the bank and write a check for the repair guys. This Bear is excited!


Thank you again to those select who donated on here. Thank you, thank you.

Sincerely and with the utmost in respect,
BigBear

Bear, just now seeing this thread. Awesome news.

You're efforts to bring music into the lives of these kids is paying off. I know it's been an uphill climb the entire way, and it will continue to be so, but you should be very proud of all that you've accomplished and know that the results of your efforts will live on longer than you can imagine.

Proud of ya Bear!

Good on you, Bear! And congratulations!

Making a difference in the lives of children the way you are is a truly noble thing.

I've studied and practiced music for almost three decades. I was very fortunate to have studied under some very great teachers; I'm still friends with them.

This is excellent work Bear.
