CPR's signature community program is our Instrument Drive. The 2012 drive is set to begin on March 5th and continue through the 17th.  This annual event helps to keep music alive by helping underfunded schools provide band and orchestra instruments to students who could not otherwise afford to rent or buy them. 

Complete information about this year's drive including drop-off loactions will be posted by Feb 27th.

You'll find information here on the 2011 Instrument Drive.  To date, more than 40 music programs have received instruments donated by CPR listeners, and several have sent thank you photos.

This letter from the donor of a clarinet says it all.

The Instrument Drive has received local, regional and national coverage.

One of the schools that was awarded instruments this year is Avon Elementary, home of the FirstNotes program. We visited them in November and recorded this video.
