New Year's Eve Donation



Vega Productions and Schmitt Music delivered the donation that resulted from "2010: The Year We Make Contact" featuring Solid Gold, Freddy Fresh, Heatbox, The Histronic and Nicholas Mrozinski. More than 60 instruments were donated to Thomas Edison High School in NE Minneapolis. It was just five short years ago that the school did not even have an instrumental music program, so these instruments will really help Edison Music Director Beth Hulteng continue to build the program. Thank you to everyone who attended the show and made this possible!
