LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- A huge surprise for Western Middle School is keeping the music alive. Students there received more than $23,000 worth of new musical instruments Wednesday morning.
Fidelity Investments made the donation through the Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation, which helps companies donate new band and orchestra instruments to under-funded music programs.
Band Director Eric Allen says, "This puts us 10 years ahead...couldn't be more excited about it."
