Music Department Fundraiser

Dear Parents,       

          The Durham Middle School Music Department fundraiser will kick off on 9/23/14 and will end on 10/06/14.  This fundraiser is an opportunity for the music department to provide the students in our program with the best musical experience.

     This year's fundraiser will be with YANKEE CANDLE!  Our fundraiser will help support our program and provide various musical experiences that are vital to our program.  We are allotted money by the district, but are only allowed to use those funds for tangible items and equipment.  Depending on the success of the fundraiser, our profits will provide some of the following throughout the school year:

♪        Professional clinicians and instrumental specialists to work with the students.

♪        Classroom time with guest conductors

♪        Accompanist for performances and rehearsals

♪        Master Classes for specific instruments and voices

♪        Recordings of performances for classroom learning and special performances

♪        Pre-Festival Camps

♪        Field trip funding as needed

♪        Clinicians for extra-curricular ensembles

♪        Special musical events and performances

♪        Teacher In-service and All-State Expenses

♪        Professional Organization Dues

♪        Student Awards

♪        Classroom updates and supplies as needed

♪        Scholarships at teacher discretion

♪        A fraction of funds may be carried over to the following school year in order to provide these same services to start out the year.   

With your support, our students will benefit educationally.  Our goal is to provide the best musical opportunity for your children.  We feel that this fundraiser is one way that we can provide additional musical experiences that will enhance your child's musical education.

Thank you for your continuous support,

Your Durham Music Team
