Spotlight: MusiCorps

Founded in 2007, MusiCorps is a rehabilitation program for wounded veterans in which they learn or relearn how to play a musical instrument. It helps them adjust to life with their new disabilities. As stated on the program's website, "With MusiCorps, disabilities disappear and severely injured veterans soar, reaching the highest levels of musical achievement." The MusiCorps Wounded Warrior Band has performed with famous musicians at well known venues and on television. Most recently, the band performed the song "Chicken Fried" with actor/host John Stamos playing the drums on PBS's A Capitol Fourth last Thursday. For more information about MusiCorps, go to
