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.
We run 2 types of fundraising:
THANK YOU in advance for your time and effort; it is truly needed to make our fundraisers SUCCESSFUL!
Sectionals with Clinicians for the Band and Orchestra
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.

Fundraisers also help repair school-owned instruments and purchase new equipment as needed.
We run 2 types of fundraising:
- General Booster Fund fundraising (these are the large annual fundraisers such as Tag Day and the Golf Fundraiser). The money raised in these fundraisers go towards the clinicians and other needs of the directors.
- Student Account Fundraising (these are the smaller fundraisers such as the Achatz Pie, Poinsettia, Pizza Kits, Pizza Coupons, Coffee/Popcorn, Fruits, Flower Bulbs, RaiseRight). The profits from these fundraisers go into the student accounts. Students can then apply the funds towards music field trips, private lessons, accessories for their instrument, camp fees, or anything else music related.
- And there are a few instances where the profits are shared between Student Accounts and the General Booster Fund. Those are the Mattress Sale (where the student receives a set amount of money for each successful referral and the Boosters receives the remainder of the funds raised) and the Can and Bottle Drive (where the Booster receives half the profits and the students receive the other half based on the amount of time they volunteered).
