About Maine South
Thank you for your support of Maine South Music Boosters. Thank you for volunteering your time and for your financial donations - you have all played an essential role in making the music department successful. While we have once again raised the majority of our funds through memberships, band spectacular/fall fundraising, and many smaller fundraisers, we are now able to add to our income through the sale of season football passes.
We have supported our students through instrument purchases, scholarships, meals and spirit wear while adding some fun with social events. Because of our generous families, we were able to support many requests this year either financially or logistically, with volunteer and planning help.
In addition to teacher requests and scholarships, we hope to focus on experiences that will gather our music students together this year.
The organization is led by an executive board and committee chairs, and it is funded through membership dues, donations, and fundraisers. Music Boosters general meetings are held throughout the year and include an update on the music program from a Fine Arts Department music teacher.
Please join the Music Boosters and get as involved as you can!
