‘Plugged In’ Strikes a Chord
The Plugged In Band Program encourages creativity and philanthropy.
Aired January 19, 2023.
Music means something. It has been part of our culture since the very beginning, and somehow the ones who seem affected by it most are the young. How many of us played instruments or even had a band or two in our youth? But one local organization sees even more meaning in music than a collection of lyrics and the acquisition of a new talent. They see a mission to raise awareness and the means to further other great causes that bring value to our lives. Kathryn Brodie profiles the Plugged In Band Program.
