Congratulations to Tom Shaver on his retirement! He directed the last concert of his high school teaching career tonight at Concerts at the Portage.

Tom, thank you for your incredible dedication, passion, and care you have given to your students over the past 32 years with 22 of those years here at Portage High School. Your commitment to music education has touched countless lives, helping students grow, not only as musicians, but also as confident, disciplined and compassionate individuals.

Tom, your patience, leadership and love of music have inspired generations of students. Sara, your support, encouragement and countless contributions behind the scenes have been equally important in creating such a positive and welcoming band family.

Together you have built more than a music program – you have created lasting memories, lifelong friendships in a community that will continue to benefit from your influence for years to come.

We are deeply grateful for the time, energy and heart you have invested in so many young people. Thank you for 22 remarkable years of service, dedication and inspiration.

With sincere appreciation and best wishes,

The Portage Music Boosters

We all feel it—our community is in a tough spot right now, and we want to change that.

We’re building the kind of music community where you actually know the people around you. One where we’re all rooting for the same thing and you leave feeling more connected than when you walked in.

This program is that place, and we want to invite you into it. 🎶We aren't asking for every weekend or for you to rearrange your life. We are just asking this: if you believe in what music does for kids—if you’ve seen that spark, that confidence, and that sense of belonging in your own child—come help us make it mean even more. Just one volunteer shift. That’s it. Show up once and you’ll see what we mean. You’ll watch these kids from a different angle, meet the parents standing next to you, and realize this is exactly the community we’ve all been looking for.

Our kids already found it—now the door is open for us, too!

📍 Join Us at Our Next Meeting

When: May 27 at 6:30 PM
Where: PHS Band/Choir Rooms

Let’s build something great together. See you there!
