Ian West is collecting donated instruments as part of his Play it Forward Eagle Scout project
Ian West, 17, a member of Scout Troop 777 and drum major at La Costa Canyon High School in Carlsbad, is set on turning around declining enrollment in the marching band and other music programs at his school before he graduates in June.
“I have been working to raise awareness on a local level, however, I feel that I need a greater outreach to maximize our success in the project and get donations of working instruments. There are kids and families that simply cannot afford to purchase or even rent an instrument. Having the resource to play music is such a gift, especially during these difficult times,” Ian said.
A big part of the project will be to clean and repair the donated instruments and lead a team of volunteers in that effort.
