The Upper Canada District School Board is providing schools with $2,000 to $19,000 each to enhance their music programs.
At schools throughout the board, funds have been used to purchase and repair instruments, acquire audio equipment, and add resources to support music classes, choirs, musicals, plays, and other music-related clubs.
South Branch Elementary School in Kemptville upgraded its audio equipment with new wireless microphones, a choir mic, and wired stage monitors to enhance performances.
They also added 25 tubano drums, new xylophones, hand drums, and various small percussion instruments, and repaired their existing djembe drums as well purchased a large Bluetooth speaker.
The funding was initially announced in June.
