A: Set up college scholarships and expand as fast as you can.Start spreading the music from coast to coast and set up Musack programs wherever kids need them. So far that includes Los Angeles, Compton, Appalachia, Haiti, Cuba, Alaska, Australia,Tampa, Oakland, Chattanooga, and Native American reservations across the Southwest US.

Q: So why are we sending all this information to you?

A: Well, every year for 7 years in LA, we've hosted a casual backyard fundraising mini-Coachella experience that is unlike any other event for the performers and the attendees - all for a great cause. Now, we want to do a fundraising night on Nantucket... featuring you! We want to magically turn your performance and gorgeous New England summer experience into cold hard cash that makes music happen for Musack kids. It'll be an amazingly gratifying and fun experience. What are you waiting for!?
