School kids are rough on the musical instruments they play, and it can be expensive for a school district to send them off to be fixed when they are broken. So, Cherry Creek Schools has figured out a way to cut down on that expense; bring everything in-house. Surrounded by musical instruments, Cherry Creek Schools' Instrument Repair Technicians Jeff Eisold and Alan Davies move together in a symphony of silence. Nestled in a shop in Overland High School they bring the district's damaged band and orchestral instruments back to life, like a fifty-year-old baritone sax.
