Instrument drive to benefit students

Anyone with a musical instrument that is no longer being used can donate it to benefit local junior high music programs. Ed Knudson, dean of student learning, is organizing the instument drive as a project for the Leadership Bakersfield class.

Instruments will be given to students who apply through their band directors. Donated instruments will be refurbished through Armas Music, so even damaged ones are accepted. Instruments can be dropped off at his office in the Business Building at B1 or at the library.
