BRASS BAND

√ It is also hired to perform on functions like;weddings, parties among others.
INSTRUMENTS DONATION
APPEAL OF INSTRUMENTS FOR BFC MUSIC PROJECT
Brass for children has placed several brass instruments into the hands of Underprivileged young people, but we are in need of more donated instruments in any condition.
Our music and life skills programs have reached and aided over 50 beneficiaries among the impoverished children in our community.
Our brass instruments are very few in number. You find one
instrument is shared with more than five players and that most of our
instruments are very old and out of tune.
There are people with more than one instrument around the world. We
share one instrument with more than five people.
When you donate one instrument or more than one instrument there is
hope that more members are recruited and are given the opportunity
to play musical instruments.
How you can help us in solving the problems of shortage of
instruments and old, out of tune, scrap instruments?
You can help us by collecting instruments from any Music institute,
Brass instruments repair workshops, Band associations, music stores and Brass bands then ship ~them to us, to our postal address.
An individual can also donate his or her instrument/instruments to us .
Forming groups to raise funds for us to buy instruments
Sending missing parts of instruments such as mouth pieces, drum
heads and valves etc.
