The Music Boosters of Austin recently donated a 1/2 size cello to the I.J. Holton Intermediate School music program, in response to an increase in students who wanted to play in band, and who wanted to play cello. The music boosters is a non-profit organization that helps the music program.  Funds are raised by selling coupon books for $20.  The coupons can be used at several local businesses.
