Sounds That Inspire is Providing Funding for the Poudre School Districts Music Programs.

Find Out How to Help Support the Local Music Programs for Poudre Schools.

Sounds that Inspire is a foundation created by RMIF founder, John Schreck, to support Northern Colorado Poudre R-1 school music programs. Schreck states: “My commitment to ensuring the continuing education of music in our schools was the result of ten years of watching my youngest daughter’s progress from a beginner clarinet player in the Poudre School District to 1st chair in CSU’s Wind Ensemble and orchestra. During this time she won multiple scholarships and garnered additional musical opportunities.” Schreck believes it was the support of her teachers that assisted his daughter in maintaining her commitment to success through hard work and dedication. He learned firsthand how youth involved in music became better students and stronger individuals.

Funds from the Sounds that Inspire program will go directly to the Poudre School District Foundation, to benefit district grade school through high school music programs. As the awareness increases for the program, it is the continual goal to extend the reach of the benefits to surrounding local community schools.

Schreck also saw the disappointment and heartbreak of aspiring students who could not afford to become involved in music education due to financial challenges. Realizing there is a solution to every problem; Schreck felt it simply becomes the practical application of oneself to become involved in another’s person dreams and potential success.

In 2008, Schreck created the Fort Collins Irish Festival, now known as the Rocky Mountain Irish Festival. It is through this successful annual event that Schreck can provide music education for challenged youth to ensure the sound of music is always inspired and maintained in local community schools.Fort Collins, Colorado August 29, 2012—Music programs in the Poudre R-1 School District will benefit from a portion of the proceeds from the upcoming Rocky Mountain Irish Festival (RMIF), to be held Saturday and Sunday, September 29th through 30th at Civic Center Park, Fort Collins, CO.

In a time when budgets for fine arts programs in public schools have been reduced, local foundations like Sounds that Inspire assist schools students who deserve well developed, well-funded programs taught by dedicated professionals who inspire their student’s to develop their musical talents.
