What took so long?
Let's keep innovating and making school a better place for the students.

Is there really such a thing as a "music repair store"? I know of a lot of places that sell instruments, and offer service, much of which includes talking you into as many new parts as they can sell you. It doesn't surprise me that they would say a tuba with a dent or broken valve can't be fixed.
That little bit of cynicism aside, its great that the district has someone who can repair these instruments. A lot of districts don't even offer music anymore, since its not on the standardized tests.
