Adopt-A-Band

We have teamed up with Etymotic Research, the first company to create high-fidelity hearing protection, in their nationwide initiative to Adopt-A-Band.  The mission of the program is to preserve the hearing of drumline, marching and concert band members nationwide.  We are proud to be affiliated with this program and advocate for the use of hearing protection in Bloomington-Normal’s music community.

Good for Us:  This program allows us to facilitate the process of educating and protection local band members.

Good for You:
  Adopt a band!  It is simple to join and available to parents, boosters, band directors, music educators, corporations – anyone interested in advocating safe playing practicing habits for today’s musicians.

Great for the Band:
  Sponsorship provides educational materials, earplugs at a reduced cost, and industry news and updates.
