Concessions

Concessions is the primary fundraiser for the music boosters. Funds raised through concessions allows us to to purchase equipment and other things needed by the bands, choirs, and the orchestra. The concession stands at home sporting events are staffed by music booster volunteers and parents of band, choir, and orchestra members.

Concessions is being staffed differently than it has been in the past. The choir will handle volunteers for the fall sports season, the orchestra will handle the winter sports season, and the band will handle the spring sports season. Of course anyone may also volunteer for which ever season they choose as well. To volunteer please contact the director in charge for that season.
