The Florence-Carlton High School Concert Band received a vibraphone thanks to the Aaron Bolton Memorial Fund music grant.

Band director Jennifer Kirby said until now the band has borrowed the instrument from Sentinel High School in Missoula each time they needed one.

aHave you ever heard or played a vibraphone?a Kirby said.

Kirby said the Florence jazz band had not been able to add the instrument to their performances until the funding came from the Aaron Bolton grant.

aAll of the Florence Band students were so excited when the vibraphone arrived from Morgenroth Music Center in Missoula last fall,a she said.

The Aaron Bolton Memorial Fund honors Aaron Bolton, a musician, entrepreneur, beloved son, brother, friend and life asituationa embracer.
