What is Band of Angels?

Band of Angels is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping children in need find the gift of music. By collecting used musical instruments and providing them to students who otherwise couldn’t afford them, Band of Angels opens doors for young musicians to grow, learn, and thrive. Beyond instruments, they also provide scholarships to summer music camps and support music education programs, ensuring every child has the opportunity to pursue their passion.

Band of Angels has collected 3,100 instruments and has given them to students in need at over 60 school districts within a 100-mile radius of Kansas City, and across the country.
