Join Community Band of the Palouse on Saturday, June 14, 2014, Noon, at Gladish Community and Cultural Center, Pullman, for a Children’s Concert. We will feature an instrument “Petting Zoo” with help from band members and Dale Keeney of Keeney Brothers Music.

Children will have the opportunity to try out various instruments and take home something homemade. This is a great opportunity for your children to discover which instrument they might like to play if they will be playing in a school music program.

After you attend the above concert, you might be inspired to go home and make some more instruments. Below are some great links to sites that have wonderful ideas for turning leftovers into something musical!
