Scarlett Middle School Bands receive $30,951 in instruments through Morgan Wallen’s Give Back Program

Congratulations to Scarlett Middle School Bands and their directors, Caroline Fitzgerald and Amanda Blackson!

The Morgan Wallen Foundation (MWF) has selected Scarlett Middle School to receive a donation of musical instruments through Morgan Wallen’s 2026 Tour Give Back Program. The program supports youth sports and music, and while on tour, Morgan often gives back to communities that have welcomed him. He performed at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor on July 24 and 25.

Together with the Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation, the Morgan Wallen Foundation has provided Scarlett’s music program with $30,951 in instruments and accessories, including:

  • 5 bass clarinets
  • 3 alto saxophones
  • 4 pairs of marimba yarn mallets (2 medium, 2 hard)
  • 4 pairs of vibraphone yarn mallets (2 medium, 2 hard)

Kimberly Coulson-Mobley, Fine Arts and Special Area Coordinator, says: “Thank you, Mr. Wallen and Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation, and congratulations to Ms. Fitzgerald, Ms. Blackson, and the Scarlett Middle School Band Program!”
