FUNDRAISING
Fundraising is a big part of what we do as a booster organization. The dollars your student earns through fundraising provide him or her with the best musical instruction experience possible. Through your hard work our students enjoy advanced, hands-on clinician experiences right in our own auditorium. Fundraisers also help repair school-owned instruments and purchase new equipment as needed.
For many of our fundraising activities, a portion of the proceeds go directly to your Student's Account. This money can be used to help pay for music group trips, private lessons, instrument repair, and supplies like reeds, rosin, new strings and other music essentials. Your involvement in our fundraising process has a huge impact on the quality of our program! Fundraiser dates can be found by clicking Calendar in the list on the left side of the page.
Each year, the North Farmington Band & Orchestra Boosters typically raises over $20,000 outside of Student Accounts. Most of this money goes towards bringing clinicians into the Percussion, Band and Orchestra classrooms. The remaining funds cover current gaps in the district funding for school instrument repairs, uniform purchases, musical scores and any other miscellaneous needs that arise.
We want to THANK YOU in advance for your time and effort; it is truly needed to make our fundraisers SUCCESSFUL!

Sectionals with Clinicians
Each year (typically starting in the late Fall and running through the Winter) every student in every band and orchestra has a weekly small group lesson, which we call a sectional. These sectional rehearsals are held during class time with a professional musician for each instrument. These incredible musician/teachers bring to the students a great depth of knowledge and skill particular to their instrument, and provide an invaluable extension to classroom instruction. Our percussion instructor is also funded entirely by the Boosters.
This unique program, completely funded entirely by the Boosters, gives the detailed and specific instruction that makes possible the high level of achievement our students regularly attain. The program would not be the same without it. The professionals - members of the DSO, the Michigan Opera, doctoral students and graduates of U of M, and other fine musicians - commit to working with our students, and the Boosters commit to making this possible! We could not offer this exceptional opportunity without the many thousands of dollars raised each year.
