Benefits of your $90 Membership Fee!
All the money raised goes DIRECTLY to making orchestra an awesome experience for YOUR student! (Ask them about the Ice Cream Social! It was fun and FREE for them; provided by funds from membership fees! Ask about their favorite piece! It was purchased with money from membership fees!) We also offer a ton of awards at the end of the year, plus scholarships for music summer camps, cash rewards for our biggest honors, and a $500 scholarship in honor of a former student.
Every member family receives FREE admission to EVERY orchestra concert in which their student is playing the whole year! Ordinarily, tickets will cost $5 each!! PLUS, member students get discounted admission to other orchestra events (some are even FREE!) like the tailgate on October 14!!

These are professional portraits!
Here are a few testimonials about the photos taken two years ago:
"I didn't even bother having [student's name] pose with his instrument for his senior portrait session because the ones we had taken when he was a sophomore were SO GOOD!"
"We used their orchestra photos as our Christmas card that year because they looked so nice!"
Don't miss out on these AWESOME pictures!
