Play it Again! MCMS and WHS Partner for Instrument Drive

Manchester Community Music School is partnering with local schools and businesses for a Play it Again! Instrument Drive. Our goal is to get musical instruments into the hands of every child that would like to learn to play one. Check your closets, garage, attics and yes even under the bed for gently used musical instruments that are no longer being played and can find new life with a student in need.

The Instrument Drive takes place March 23 - April 3, 2015 and gently used instruments of all sorts can be dropped at one of the drop locations to be inspected, repaired and made available for future use.

Designated drop locations for this event:

• Manchester Community Music School, 2291 Elm Street, Manchester, NH – 8:30 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.
• Pelham High School, 85 Marsh Road, Pelham, NH – 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
