Organizers of the Gasparilla Music Festival will attend a quad event on the St. Petersburg/Gibbs Campus on Thursday, Feb. 4, from 12:30 – 2 p.m. to recruit volunteers for the two-day festival on March 12-13.

One of the largest, local non-profit music festivals, this year’s event features dozens of acts including Erykah Badu, MS MR, Greensky Bluegrass, Charles Bradley and more. Learn more about the festival at gasparillamusic.com.

Gasparilla Music Foundation partners with SPC

The Gasparilla Music Foundation has been a strong supporter of SPC’s Music Industry/Recording Arts program for three years, helping staff raise funds for our music students. MIRA faculty, students and alumni have performed and volunteered at the festival and now we want to welcome them to campus to show our appreciation for their ongoing support for music education.

During the Feb. 4 event, foundation board member Jaime Zinober will be signing up volunteers and accepting new and used instruments, both of which will earn students a one-day complimentary ticket. Please bring any instruments and spread the word for your friends to do the same. All instruments gathered at this event will be donated to Pinellas County Schools in support of their Recycled Tunes Program.

Come stop by, say hello, and enjoy Quad festivities and visit the St. Petersburg/Gibbs Campus Facebook Page for other campus events.
