Music Boosters Spotlight~Sophie Kubesh
“Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.” - Confucius
This week, take note of Sophie Kubesh, TCAPS alumnus.
Sophie participated in Orchestra at both West Middle School and West Senior High School. During that time, Sophie was a recipient of a Music Boosters Scholarship which she used to attend Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp.
Sophie writes, “Music has shaped me into the person I am today and helped me make many personal connections. Although I haven't been in orchestra since high school, my interest in music has never left me.”
Sophie took multiple music classes as part of her undergraduate studies. She is also a big collector of vinyl records and is engaged to her middle school sweetheart who she met through a mutual involvement in school music.
Sophie is in her second year of pharmacy school at Ferris State University and aspires to become an oncology pharmacist working either in an in-patient or out-patient setting.
Traverse City Music Boosters supports all K-12 music education in TCAPS.

2022 Music Boosters Benefit Concert Dedication
Larry Burden
Creative Services Manager-TCAPS Media
Every year the TCAPS Music Department staff selects an individual or group that goes above and beyond with their support of the TCAPS Music Program. This year we dedicate the 2022 Music Booster Benefit concert to an individual who has definitely been behind the scenes - especially during COVID. This individual was instrumental in allowing us to share our music with family and friends during the last two years by spending countless hours recording and editing professional video that we could share with our audiences here and far away. His creative genius has also allowed us to share our musical explorations when we have traveled abroad by filming performances and providing interviews with students as they experience different cultures and then sharing them with family and friends who were not able to travel with us.
