The Heritage Music Boosters are dedicated to promoting and supporting choral, orchestral, and band programs at Heritage High School.

Our main fundraising activity is selling concessions at HHS athletic events. We encourage you to volunteer at these events to help us raise funds.

You can also support us through Kroger Community Rewards by selecting “Heritage Music” or using organization number VS592.

Additionally, we hold a Butter Braids fundraiser, where the earnings go directly into the student’s Music Booster Account.

For meeting minutes or any questions about our operations, please email us at HeritageMusicBoosters24@gmail.com.

The Heritage Music Boosters meet the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the north Teachers Lounge (behind the Band Room). We hope you can join us!
