Friends,
We want to thank you for your support during our annual Step-Up sale. We've been able to find students their perfect instrument that takes them to the next level.
We wanted to let you know that the sale is still happening this week through Saturday, and play-testing appointments are still available!
We have a HUGE amount of inventory, and with the manufacturer rebates, in-store credit, and additional discounts available, this is truly the best time for students and to move up to the next level.
If you're willing, please share this link with students and parents as a reminder that they have until Saturday to book an appointment and find their instrument: https://mailchi.mp/305529939c4d/step-up-2020-strings
As a reminder, appointments can be made on our booking website or by calling the Shoppe, and you may also find links through our emails and social channels.

We can't thank you enough for all that you do, but we'll certainly try! Thank you for everything you're doing to keep students in music!
Sincerely,
Jonathon Breen

NCHS BANDS needs support reaching our goal of $2,500.00 for the CO-VOIDED Unit 5 Music Parent's Spaghetti Supper Fundraiser (un-raiser).
The Annual Spaghetti Supper is a Unit 5 Music Department fundraiser, sponsored by the McLean County Unit 5 Music Parents Association. This is an annual event that allows for families to financially support the music programs by purchasing tickets for a spaghetti meal and enjoy the talents of their children in a musical performance. Even though Covid-19 has eliminated our ability to hold the annual Spaghetti Supper in person, due to current pandemic restrictions, it cannot stop our love for music and desire to financially support the music programs.
Instead of selling a product or asking for volunteers, U5MP is simply asking for your generous financial donation for these important programs. Many programs have large financial short-falls due to cancelled fundraising events because of the pandemic. The best part of this year's fundraiser is that 100% of your donation will go directly to support the Unit 5 music programs and Unit 5 Music Parents Association this year!
All donations made to U5MP are deductible charitable donations and you will receive a receipt for your donation.

Friends,
We know you're tearing your hair out and needing more hours in the day, so forgive the intrusion into your inbox. You're all heroes!
Running October 31st - November 7th at The Music Shoppe of Normal, we're holding our annual Step-Up band instrument event with a nod to COVID protocols. We're asking students and parents to come in by appointment, so we can maintain social distancing and keep instruments cleaned and sanitized.
We have a HUGE amount of inventory, and will be offering once a year rebates and flexible financing options. Manufacturers have stepped up their game and The Music Shoppe is doing everything we can to make instruments affordable (Example: Buffet is giving $250 rebates on R13 clarinets!).
Appointments can be made on our booking website or by calling the Shoppe, and you may also find links through our emails and social channels.
