WE NEED …… Carson City Symphony Association is a low-budget
organization with no paid administrative staff. Our main expenses are concert-hall rental, guest soloists' and conductors' honoraria, music rental and purchase, insurance, printing, mailing, marketing, and other operating expenses.
Through the years, through purchases and donations, we have acquired symphonic and choral music libraries, shell and risers, percussion equipment, a trailer to transport equipment, file cabinets, and instruments for students whose families cannot afford purchase or rental costs. However, as we grow, more items are needed. Our current needs are for: • Two tables (folding tables okay) for rehearsal studio. • Many chairs with no arms, preferably padded (folding
(folding okay) for studio. • A sturdy stand for electronic keyboard. • More string instruments for students - violins,
violas, cellos, basses. If you have any of these items to contribute, please call the
Symphony at 775-883-4154.
