The News On 6 is reporting:
Legendary rock band, KISS, will spend Wednesday at Tulsa's Wilson Middle School to shoot a segment of ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
"I can't believe what all they have planned," said Wilson principal Caleb Starr in a release. "This is going to be an amazing experience for the kids and the adults."
Starr said producers from Extreme Makeover approached him with an offer of free musical instruments from Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation as part of an upcoming edition of the show.
"They're rebuilding the home of a music teacher and his wife," Starr said, "and the teacher wanted to give musical instruments to a school in need. They asked if we would be interested and we jumped on the opportunity."
Starr and his students were thrilled to learn KISS would be at the school to formally present the 40 new musical instruments to Wilson students, including violins, trumpets, saxophones and flutes.
The release states Wilson Middle School has 515 students, 93 percent of whom qualify under federal poverty guidelines for free or reduced-price meals.
