Algona Middle School Band Awarded Algona Community School Foundation Grant
The Algona Middle School Band was awarded a $15,000 grant through the Algona Community School Foundation to help with the band’s growing student participation. The grant helped purchase 10 clarinets, 5 trumpets, and 28 instrument cases.
It also funded the repair of five clarinets and eight trombones. Several accessories were purchased, including reeds, oil, grease, and swabs for cleaning instruments.
The Algona Community School Foundation was formed to maintain, develop, increase and extend the facilities and services of the Algona Community School District while providing for broader educational opportunities. The grant will help Algona Bands to improve its tradition of excellence in music education by providing the growing number of interested students the opportunity and means to participate in band. The grant will increase the amount of equipment the school is able to provide for students who are unable to afford their own instruments.
