We are raising money to purchase and repair much needed musical instruments and choir materials for the Hilbert Middle School and Redford Union High School band and choir programs.

We need your help.


We are asking for both financial donations and also donations of new or gently used musical instruments and choir equipment (scroll to the bottom of this page to see our wish list)

Our students want to play and create music.

We don't have enough working instruments (many we have are inoperable or in need of major and minor repairs) and equipment.

That's where we hope you come in. Studies show the positive impact these activities have on students academically and socially. Please help give the gift of music to our students.

Wish List For Ensembles

Marching Band:

Another Snare and 20” Bass Drum with Carrier (Harness) * $1348
Stands for Marching Snare, Quints and Bass Drum * $1100
Protective cloth covers for each Marching Snare, Quints and Bass Drum * $175-200
Storage Cases for each Marching Snare, Quints and Bass Drum * Snare: $130 each. Quints: $190 each. Bass Drums: $110-$180 each
Sousaphone * $1100

These instruments and equipment are extremely needed for the Marching Band. The protective covers and storage cases keep the equipment safe and last longer. The stands allow the drum line to practice their instrument without constantly having to carry the instrument. Putting the instruments on the ground can cause damage and makes it very hard for the students to tune and practice properly.
