Jazz for Instruments is a jazz concert on March 10th at 2pm in the Silver Creek High School auditorium that benefits Bringing Music to Life.

Jazz for Instruments is Donovan Whitehead’s senior capstone project for the Silver Creek Leadership Academy. The concert is to benefit Bringing Music to Life, a local organization that collects, repairs, and donates instruments to schools in need. All proceeds from the event, ticket sales, concessions, and donations, go toward repairing these instruments for students to use. Four years ago, SCLA senior Alexa Jayne ran an instrument drive for Bringing Music to Life. During her drive, she collected 75 instruments for Bringing Music to Life. This adds up to about $10,500 in repairs for the instruments for the organization before they can be donated to schools. Donovan’s goal is to meet or exceed that amount for Bringing Music to Life.

The concert will be split in to two sessions. The first session contains Westview Middle School’s jazz band, Altona Middle School’s jazz band, 2x4 combo band, and Silver Creek’s Savoy band and starts at 2pm. The second session contains Silver Creek’s Vanguard band, “Take Note” vocal group, and the Eric Ottem Jazz Band and starts at 4pm. Tickets for the concert are priced at $5 for one session and $8 for both in cash at the door or $6 for one and $10 for both online at http://tinyurl.com/J4I-Tickets.

“I have found a family in band throughout high school and it has given me so many amazing opportunities. I want others to have the chance to experience the same.” -Donovan Whitehead
