Come join club member, Mikey Meyers' Band of Angels on Saturday, November 21st for a very fun and important event. It's Instrument Cleaning Day!

We're looking for volunteers to spend some time with us and friends doing a critical service for our student musicians. During this event we will be cleaning and polishing instruments and cases so they look great when we award them to kids. Let's make this special moment beautiful for them!

Instrument Cleaning Day takes place at Meyer Music in Blue Springs - 1512 SW Hwy 40, Blue Springs, MO 64015 (MAP).

We are expecting that this will be our biggest and best Instrument Cleaning Day ever! In addition to cleaning instruments and cases, we will have other volunteer activities. We expect to have some of our Band of Angels students there, too. There may even be some heartwarming surprises!

We have two 2-hour shifts to choose from: 10:00am -12:30pm and 12:00 - 2:30pm. You can sign up for your shift HERE.

Students are welcome but must be in 8th grade or above to attend alone. If younger, student must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or chaperon also volunteering. Thank you!

Join us for this great event and share in the love our students feel from Band of Angels!
