On Saturday, October 5th we’re partnering with Instruments For Education and Focus Features to help collect instruments for local students! Instruments for Education is a Nashville-based 501-C3 non-profit organization whose mission it is to collect and distribute musical instruments to area school classrooms and students that may not otherwise have the means to purchase instruments. The organization offers teachers and students a hands-on way to explore and learn about musical instrument(s). We love what Instruments For Education are doing in our community and are happy to support them in their efforts. Please bring any gently used or preloved instruments with you to the shop on 10/5 and leave your contribution with one of the IFE volunteers. When you’re here you can also find out more about Instruments For Education and how you can support their good work.
As a show of thanks for your donation, Foucs Features is supplying us with passes for an early screening of the upcoming feature film Piece By Piece. Opening Friday, October 11th and staring musician and cultural icon Pharrell Williams, the film is a unique cinematic experience that invites audiences on a vibrant journey through the life Williams as told through the lens of LEGO® animation. The movie turns up the volume on your imagination and witnesses the evolution of one of music's most innovative minds. Musicians Gwen Stefani, Kendrick Lamar, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z, and Snoop Dogg round out the cast. The screening passes available with donation are for a showing of the film on Wednesday, October 9th, 7pm at the Regal Opry Mills.
