A local youth marching band is in the running for a big cash grant to buy new instruments, but they need help to get it.
The Calgary Round-Up Band features young people from the city aged 12 to 15 and needs some new French horns, tubas, baritones and percussion instruments.
To buy them, the band is hoping to get $25,000 from Pepsi, who’s running an online contest for community grants.
The top ten ideas, as decided by online votes, will get money.
As of Friday morning, the band is in second place in its category, which does put them in contention.
Voting closes at the end of this month.
