CLARKSBURG, W. Va. (WUSA9) — A high school in West Virginia needs the public’s help to replace instruments it lost after severe flooding at the end of June.
Bandland, the area store that contributes largely to the instruments used in the school systems, is now collecting band instruments to help Richwood High School.
Playable instruments are the first priority, though the store will accept anything and add it to the program when possible. See below for specific items that the music department lost in the flood.
Drop off instruments now through July 14 at Bandland,154 E Pike St., Clarksburg, WV 26301, and let the store associate know it is for the “Richwood Project.”
Additionally, the band has raised nearly $5,700. To make a monetary donation, visit the Razoo Funding Page.
