The Selkirk music program is once again looking for donations of used instruments. Students in grades 5-12 are able to participate in band using a school instrument rather than renting one from a music store. However, we do not have enough brass instruments to meet the interest.

Thank you to those who have donated in the past as well as those of you willing to dig through those closets to donate now!
