Bozman Intermediate School needs help for their band program!

"Bozman Intermediate is a Title 1 5th and 6th grade campus in Conroe, TX. Our band program has two directors and almost 300 students.

What sets our band program apart is our commitment to inclusivity and diversity. Every student, regardless of their background or prior experience, should have the opportunity to participate in music. We loan out school-owned instruments to almost half of the program, which allows students from low-income families to access instruments without the financial burden.

The donations we receive will allow us to enhance our band program significantly. We will be able to provide high-quality instruments essential for our students’ growth. We also plan to organize community performances and outreach programs, bringing music to local events and parades and fostering connections between our students and the community." - Rachael Jones, Band Director

The program is in need of flutes, clarinets, bass clarinets, tenor saxophones, oboes, trumpets, trombones, and a marimba to reduce sharing, allow additional students to participate, and replace aged instruments that are beyond repair.

With generous and transformative support from Eddie Van Halen over the years and now continuing through his son Wolfgang, The Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation is pleased to announce that the Van Halen Family has committed to kickstarting the Adopt A School campaign with a generous $1,000 donation towards each of the first 100 participating schools.

Schools participating in the Adopt A School campaign are qualified through MHOF’s vetting and eligibility process, giving donors confidence that their investment is protected and sustainable, impacting students for a minimum of 10 years (the lifespan of an instrument in a school setting.) Donations made to this school’s fundraising campaign go directly to The Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation (MHOF). MHOF then purchases the specific instruments the school is in need of at a substantially discounted price and the instruments deliver directly to the school.

Donate today and help these students foster their love of music, every dollar counts!
