The purpose of this organization shall be to enlist the cooperation of the home and the school for the purpose of encouraging the musical education of the children in the Ichabod Crane Central Schools. TEMPO (To encourage Music Participation Organization) is a parent – community organization that fosters enthusiasm for the performing arts in our school district and community. Please contact us for information about our events and volunteer opportunities. Our fundraisers help fill gaps in the budget for our teachers and advisors. This includes sheet music, instrument repair, Band Olympics prizes, food for students and volunteers at various events, and much, much more…
Our members and families offer an extra helping hand to teachers and advisors to enhance student experiences in all areas of music and the performing arts. We also offer Jeff Lovell Memorial Scholarship(s) each year to graduating seniors pursuing performing arts in college. Kathy Dady, President
