Typical Activities
What does a typical year look like for us? Here is a list of activities we usually participate in each year:
July/August
Marching Band holds their Tag Day fundraiser.
September
Marching Band is very active and can use volunteer help!
October, November
We typically run a sales fundraiser around this time. Fall concerts take place in October. Also, the Craft Fair is our largest fundraiser, and that occurs in November. Volunteers are needed to set up, work admissions, assist crafters, and sell concessions.
December
The winter concerts take place. Also, the Choir hosts the Madrigal Dinner events, and Boosters volunteers take care of the setup, cleanup, and the food. We may sell poinsettias at this event, and at all of the winter concerts.
February
The Pops concert is a fundraiser that includes admissions, concessions, silent auctions and raffles. Boosters volunteers set up, run these parts of the event, and clean up after the event. The school musical also takes place, and we sell concessions at this event.
March
We may do another sales fundraiser at this time. Also, Jacobs hosts the 24 Hour Musical charity fundraising event. While this is not a Music Boosters fundraiser, the Music Boosters parents support the event by volunteering various types of assistance, including a food line set up in the Commons area of the school. The meeting in March is also when nominees for the officer positions for the next school year are announced.
April
The spring concerts take place. The final meeting for the year is also scheduled for this time of the year. At this meeting, we approve the budget for the next school year, and elect the officers for the next school year.
All Year
Throughout the year, at every concert performance, we have students holding a box for cash donations, and a Booster parent supervises the students. There are contests and clinics that involve trips away from school, and a Booster volunteer may go along as a chaperone to assist the Music Director. We may have opportunities to earn money by selling concessions at certain events.
