OUR MISSION
We are a group of parents, faculty members, and community members that supports, with our time, energy and fund raising activities, both the instrumental and vocal music programs at MHSS including the Marching Band, Concert Band, Jazz Band, Color Guard, and Choir.
Examples of support include chaperoning games, festivals, competitions, and trips;
helping to organize events such as trips and the band festival;
providing fund raising opportunities for student individual accounts which reduce the cost of trips,
proving funds the help miscellaneous expenses on trips, band camp, and festivals,
providing thank-you gifts for seniors,
providing scholarships (for MSS members),
providing funds for equipment,
providing funds for competition fees and tickets,
and subsidizing miscellaneous student needs, such as band shirts and trip costs.
We urge all our families to become members of Music Sponsors South for a fee of $35.00 per year per family. Your
membership fee helps to fund purchases of items for the music department and color guard.
Membership benefits include the
opportunity for your senior music students to apply for scholarships; all member students receive a subsidy toward the annual trip, if
applicable; and parents may vote at general and special meetings.
Memberships for the 2011-2012 season closes November 1.

MUSIC SPONSORS SOUTH CALENDAR
Meeting for this year will be held in the South Band Room on the Second Monday of each month at 7:30 p.m.
If you haven't already, you will have a chance to meet our Band Director.
The monthly music sponsors meetings
are your opportunity to meet the officers and committee heads and other "veteran" parents.
We will be able to
provide you with valuable "inside information," the type that our students tend to "forget" to tell you about.
See the calendar page for instructions on adding calendar information to your personal calendar.
