Friends of musicAbout Pocket Change

“Pocket Change” at our concerts is now a long-standing tradition. When you reach into your pockets, purses, or wallets for loose change or a bill or two, you have just helped us give out another music scholarship!

Look for the volunteers with the balloons and buckets at intermissions and after concerts and drop in a donation. It’s fun, simple, and definitely appreciated. There, didn’t that feel good? Thank you!

We did not really get the whole wallet, but, what a nice idea!
