Music stand drive success at Rosalia

The drive for funds to purchase portable music stands for Rosalia students came close of reaching twice the goal. Rosalia music director Steve Munson said they received approximately $1,600 in donations and that will be enough to purchase about 70 of the stands.

The aim is to provide a stand for each student to use at home.

Donations came from approximately 50 donors.

The extra funds will be used to purchase 12 Manhasset music stands for use in the music room. They also plan to purchase a rack to store the stands.

Now in his second year at Rosalia, Munson has 19 high school students in the music program and 24 in the junior high program.

He said the students appreciate the support they received in the funding drive.
