Boosters

The booster club is a parent organization that supports the orchestra financially and through volunteer work.  They purchase supplies for the orchestra, provide private lesson scholarships for those students in financial need who are interested in bettering their playing, fundraise, and provide volunteers to help events to run smoothly.  Please see below for their fundraising efforts this year.

Booster Club Fundraisers 2025-2026

Fan Pledge Online Donation Drive: To Be Announced

This campaign relies on students getting contacts (grandparents, aunts, uncles, family friends, small business owners, etc.) entered into their Fan Pledge account.  We then use the money to fund things for the orchestra like:

• Bringing out professionals on violin, viola, cello, and bass to teach sectionals for our students a few times throughout the year

• Bringing clinicians to work with the orchestras as a whole

• Purchasing music and instruments for the orchestra program

• Setting up a fund to help students financially with private lessons who otherwise may not be able to take them

• And to help subsidize the students tickets to orchestra banquet

Please assist your students in doing this by providing them with emails and/or phone numbers of anyone who might be able to donate even $5.  Every little bit helps the orchestra program and we are so thankful for it!  Here is the information that the students received.  Our goal is to have as close to 20 contacts for each student as possible by Friday, September 27.

On October 1, a representative from Fan Pledge will come to Shepton after school for a kickoff event until about 5:30pm.  All students should attend.  Snacks will be provided!
