The Waunakee Community School District is excited to launch its first-ever Community Musical Instrument Drive this fall.

As participation in our music programs continues to grow, we are looking for gently used band and orchestra instruments that can be placed directly into the hands of students. This year, Waunakee Intermediate School will have its most instrumental music students ever. We want to remove barriers so every interested student has the opportunity to participate.

Many families have instruments tucked away in closets or basements that are no longer being used. By donating them, you can help provide more students with the opportunity to participate in music education.

🎵 Instrument Drop-Off

📅 Monday, August 24 – Wednesday, August 26
⏰ 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
📍 Waunakee Intermediate School
6273 Woodland Drive, Waunakee

🏫 Wednesday, August 26 – Waunakee Intermediate School Open House
⏰ 4:00 – 6:00 p.m.
📍 Waunakee Intermediate School
6273 Woodland Drive, Waunakee

Representatives from Ward-Brodt Music will be on-site during the Open House to evaluate donated instruments and provide estimated values and documentation for donation receipts.

🎺 What We Are Looking For

We welcome gently used band and orchestra instruments in playable condition. The purpose of the drive is to increase our supply of school-owned instruments for students who need instruments typically acquired by families, including:

Flute • Clarinet • Alto Saxophone • Trumpet • Trombone • Violin • Viola • Cello

We are also interested in other band or orchestra instruments, which may be used as school instruments for students. We are not accepting pianos, organs, or other non-band or orchestra instruments.

Every donated instrument will help expand access to music education for Waunakee students and support our growing instrumental music programs. The school district will work with Ward-Brodt Music to ensure all instruments are cleaned and put into playable condition. Instruments donated to the district that are beyond repair may be traded in. Professional-quality and “step-up” instruments may be allocated for more advanced students.

Thank you for considering a donation and for helping ensure that every student has the opportunity to experience the joy of making music.

Congrats to Leah!
