UPCOMING BOOSTER CLUB MEETING:
January 13 @ 6:30PM, Room E24 at KAHS
Who We Are
The Kutztown Area School Music Association (KASMA) is a non-profit booster club that supports the musical education programs for both vocal and instrumental students in the Kutztown Area School District, grades K-12. KASMA supplements the music directors' budgets through various fundraising efforts. Support from KASMA helps with the cost of new music, instruments / instrument repairs, special assemblies, workshops, and educational trips. Each music director receives $1,000 a year from KASMA.
KASMA is run ENTIRELY by volunteers. If you have a child in the Kutztown Area School District, you are automatically a member of KASMA, plus there are no fees or dues. There are many opportunities for you to get involved and support our talented musicians. To see a list of fundraisers, go to the Fundraising page, where you can also find ways to get involved.
Excellence in music is a long standing tradition at Kutztown Area School District and KASMA is essential to the musical education of our students. We are extremely proud of the accomplishments of our music students here at Kutztown Area School District.
