Classes and Clubs
The Department of Music's trombone studio recently held a BBQ lunch fundraiser to support bringing great guest artists to Murray State. The lunches were supplied by Wishing Well BBQ, which is owned by Dustin Wells, a local music teacher and Murray State Music Education alum. Orders could also be purchased to donate to the Murray Calloway County Hospital ER staff. The fundraiser was a success, and the studio was able to take 50 lunches to the MCCH ER staff. Thank you to everyone who participated!
