Congratulations! It is our pleasure to inform you that Empire Community School will be receiving a $10,000 MusiCounts Band Aid grant for 2012-2013!
This year marks a milestone for MusiCounts. In 2012-2013, through all of our programs, we are awarding over $1 million dollars to fund music education in Canada. These funds may be used for the purchase and repair of musical instruments, acquisition of sheet music and other materials that support in school music programs.
On behalf of MusiCounts, congratulations to Ms. Anderson-Grass and Empire Community School on receiving a MusiCounts Band Aid grant. We hope this grant will support your school’s efforts and commitment to foster an exceptional music program.
