The Pops Concert is the major fund raising event for the Tri-County Music Association’s Scholarship and Summer Study programs. Over the years, the TCMA has given financial aid to over 100 local students in their pursuit of music education. This year, the TCMA has awarded $12,000 to high school and college students in Barnstable, Bristol and Plymouth counties for a variety of musical ventures. It is with the continued support of the community that the TCMA can offer these opportunities for the years to come.
