Instrument Recycling Program:

On October 15, 2011, BlueBird Educational Productions, Inc. will host a benefit concert featuring Jazz saxophonist BK Jackson (www.bkjackson.com) at the Sunrise Theatre's Black Box at 8:00 pm. Admission will be $35.00 per person or the donation of a FUNCTIONAL MUSICAL INSTRUMENT. The admissions will be used to purchase and or repair musical instruments that will in turn be donated to area music students who desire to play an instrument who cannot afford to either rent or purchase one. Instruments collected will be refurbished, if necessary, and subsequently, donated for use by students in our public school system's music programs in the 2011 – 2012 school year.

RECYCLING IN – THE KEY OF E, Musical Instrument Recycling Day Program, October 15, 2011, will be held at the Sunrise Theatre's Black Box 117 South Second Street, in historic downtown Fort Pierce. An appraiser will be on hand to assess the value of donated instruments and BlueBird Educational Productions, Inc. will provide a tax receipt for the IRS for your donation.
