What's going on, music lovers? 🎶🥰

We will be having our next meeting NEXT Tuesday, October 13th at 6:30 in the Orchestra room. We'd love for you to join us! There are a lot of volunteer positions open, including several for our beloved craft fair. We will be discussing the fair heavily, as this will be our last meeting before it takes place on Saturday, November 7th. So, even though you may not be able to commit to a long-term volunteer position, we could use your help in these short-lived ones.
We hope to see you there!

Greetings!
With just under a week until the first day of school, we'd like to welcome back our returning students, and all NEW students and families. We've already established our meetings for the year, and any parent/guardian with a student in one of our 4 programs - Band, Choir, Orchestra & Guitar- are always welcome to join us. We have lots of volunteer opportunities, fundraisers and events all year long. We meet the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 6:30pm in the Orchestra room, with the exception of August, December and February. Our first meeting will be September 8th.

We can't wait to see all the new faces filtering in this year!

Hi Music fans!

We are on a little hiatus for the summer, but our chairs for the annual craft fair continue to keep busy working on securing vendors for the annual fair that will be taking place on Saturday, November 7th in the field house.

If you or someone you know who might be interested in applying for the craft fair, please head to their website: https://www.jacobshscraftfair.com/vendors
They keep the booth availability updated, as well as what types of vendors they would like to have join them. You can also apply one of two ways on their website. This annual fundraiser is the largest one for the Music Boosters, and we're really looking forward to seeing everyone there!

All donations are tax deductible and help offset our expenses, i.g. custodial services, equipment rentals, marketing costs, printing materials, etc.

Happy Monday and first day of June!

At our last board meeting of the school year in April, we said goodbye to a few parents who had their seniors graduating. Each one brought in passion for their kids and were so giving of themselves. The Boosters and the directors are all so grateful for your time and energy. THANK YOU!

Rachel Reiger - Boosters Secretary
Jill Bradley - Boosters Vice President
Arlene Dubiel - Co-Treasurer
Amy Moran - Vice President of Band
Devon Moran - Fundraising Chair

Though those may have been their official titles, each one leant a helping hand throughout the year at so many of the events. We wish you and your kids well in their next chapter.

FB doesn't like videos and photos to be shared together. So, here are a couple songs and Olivia's speech. Enjoy!

On Thursday, May 7th, Guitar I, II and Ensemble wrapped up the year with a fun and slightly emotional, event, with Mr. Chad Bobik leading the way. All in all, it was a perfect ending of the school year. 🎸🎤

Congratulations to the seniors who graduated yesterday. Olivia "Shredmaster" Wood gave an incredibly touching speech. I've included it as I'm sure so many of the graduates feel similar to their respective directors. 🎓👏🏻
