Thanks to an idea from St. Olaf alum David Brye, and the initiative of St. Olaf Band Manager Richard Erickson, St. Olaf College has collected 36 instruments from all over the country to donate to a village in Mexico. The donation will take place in January during the St. Olaf Band's tour of Mexico. According to a story in the Star Tribune, three recent St. Olaf graduates with music degrees will spend months in Mexico getting the village band started.
