By Ethan Carlson, Denver 7.com | Rocky Mountain Music Repair to host its sixth annual School Secret Santa! As some school budgets shrink and music programs struggle, a Broomfield instrument repair shop is staging an annual holiday giveaway to keep students playing.
Brian Stevenson, co-owner of Rocky Mountain Music Repair, is preparing to host the sixth annual School Secret Santa event on December 18. Visiting music teachers from across the Front Range will receive $10,000 in fake money that they can use to bid on repaired instruments and supplies donated by the community. Teachers bid live on items cataloged by the shop and Stevenson serves as auctioneer until everything is gone.
“Our passion is getting the kids good instruments,” he said. “We realized over time that if they have an instrument that’s broken when they start, there’s no way they’re going to continue with music.”
