“West Palm Beach – Seventeen year-old Brandon Siegler is putting away the musical instruments he has collected so far for Imagine Schools-Chancellor Campus in boynton beach. Brandon is working on his eagle scout project. It’s a personal venture for him.
Brandon said, ‘I figured that I liked music when I was 15 and in my elementary school they did not have a music program and if they did I would have found out earlier. So what I picked this project for so kids at the elementary school would be able to have a instruments they can learn how to play.’ Brandon said he loves playing the guitar. ‘It is my life, music. I really don’t know what else I would want to do. I am going to college for it, I am in a band well, starting a band and it’s just the best thing out there.’
The high school senior says music enhances his life, and wants music to help children. He is collecting the instruments through December and is asking the community to help. Donations are already pouring in. ‘Different individuals have donated them and I’ve also had Chafin Music donate to me a lot of instruments. I am looking for bells, maracas, trombones, xylophones, cymbals, much anything besides string instruments and pianos.'”
