Eagle Project benefit concert held to replace stolen musical instruments

For Jack Becker's Eagle Project, he is organizing a benefit concert for the Oakland School for the Arts. "Recently, I learned that they had a robbery and over $25,000 worth of musical instruments were stolen," Becker wrote in a letter to fellow Troop 246 members. "As a musician myself, I couldn't imagine how I would feel showing up to class without the trumpet I have been playing since elementary school." The benefit concert, which will take place at 3:30 p.m. April 30 in the Orinda Library Auditorium and feature the jazz students from both the Oakland School for the Arts and Campolindo High School, will help replace the stolen musical instruments and also raise funds to help the school upgrade the security of instruments in their music room. Admission is free with a donated instrument in good working condition or $20 for adults and $10 for students. "I hope you and your families can attend," Becker said. Volunteers on the day of the event will help set up, check people in, clean up and possibly help clean donated musical instruments.
