The
Mollohan Foundation presented a grant to the North
Central West Virginia Community Orchestra Silly Strings
Program of Marion County.
The Silly Strings Program promotes stringed instruments
for the students of Marion County and provides musical lessons
instructed by local music teachers.
The program provides safe, educational, wholesome, and
fun activities for the students who have an interest in music.
Many of the students join Silly Strings and begin
playing an instrument for the very first time.
The program allows the students to learn the different
instruments and to perform what they have learned at the end
of each school year.
Any student from the county can participate in the program, which currently has over
75 students.
The North Central West Virginia Community Orchestra has
three different age groups including Silly Strings, Super
Strings, and Sizzlin Strings.
These three groups meet throughout the school year and
often perform at community events.
The grant will help the program buy new instruments so
that they will have the ability to grow.
The grant was presented to the director, Cindy Davis,
at the Silly Strings Spring Fling concert.
