SUMMARY:Nashville Alliance collects used instruments at CMA Music Festival
DESCRIPTION:Valory Music artist Jimmy Wayne was on hand to collect gently used band instruments at the Nashville Alliance for Public Education’s booth during the CMA Music Festival. MP&F Associate Account Executive Lauren Northcutt and summer intern Brooke Bloom helped promote the event and coordinate media.\nThe instruments will supplement the thousands of new instruments already purchased by the Country Music Association with funds from CMA Music Festival. To date\, CMA has donated more than $2 million to support music education in Metro Nashville Public Schools on behalf of the artists who perform at the Festival free through a partnership with the Nashville Alliance known as “Keep the Music Playing.”\nThe level of interest from the community compelled the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum to offer to be a drop-off location through the end of June for anyone who wasn’t able to donate an instrument during the festival.\nAbout the Nashville Alliance for Public Education\nThe Nashville Alliance is a nonprofit organization dedicated to securing private resources to help improve Metro Nashville Public Schools. Since its inception\, the organization has raised more than $20 million to advance student success in key academic areas such as reading\, language arts\, music\, math and science\, and teacher training.\n(Left to right) Capell Simmons\, director of development operations for the Nashville Alliance\, joins Jimmy Wayne\, Valory Music artist\, and Pam Garrett\, executive director of the Nashville Alliance\, at the used-instrument drive during the CMA Music Festival.\n(Left to right) Joe Shelton\, band director at Maplewood High School\, collects music instruments with Jimmy Wayne\, Valory Music artist\, and Richard Ripani\, band director at Hume-Fogg High School\, at the Nashville Alliance’s booth at the CMA Music Festival.\n
