The BRAVO! team meets before and after productions and is always looking for new members to help plan successful shows. While time commitments vary by position, roles have been organized so that the work is spread out between members and volunteers.

Currently, BRAVO! operates with Coordinator Roles (Steering Committee) and Leads:

The Steering Committee (sets budget for show and does big picture pre-show planning):

Communications Coordinator

Volunteer Coordinator

Publicity Coordinator

Fundraising Coordinator

Treasurer

Leads (less of a time commitment and are generally needed closer to show time)

Flowers Lead

Tickets Lead

Concessions Lead

Usher Lead

Stars for Stars Lead

Set Up/Tear Down Lead

Banquet Lead

The BRAVO! fee is $35 per student, per production (maximum $70 per family per production). This fee is separate from the extracurricular activity fee that is paid to Mounds View High School. The booster fees are used directly for production support (e.g., set materials, costume materials, technical equipment rental, playbill printing) and student support (e.g., supplement year-end banquet costs).

Your Booster Fee can be paid at the Kick-Off Meeting or your student can give it to the Directors to be deposited by BRAVO!. If you have any questions about the Booster Fee or if you would like to set up a different way to submit payment, please contact the Treasurer.

One of the primary functions of any booster club at Mounds View is to raise funds to support the program. In theatre, students are not asked to sell anything. Our fundraising focuses on group participation and is nontraditional by design. In the past, we have organized 2-3 fundraising events per year including Davanni’s Restaurant Night, Cub Foods bagging and others. We also sell flowers, “stars for stars” and other items at each performance to support the theatre program. These funds go to support the theater program in a variety of ways and are a welcome addition to the booster fees.

100% ...

...of Booster Fees and sales proceeds go back into the Mounds View Theatre Program. Some of the ways those monies are used include:

• Feeding the students during longer rehearsals and all performances

• Paying for the printing of show posters, playbills, signs, and other items

• Head shot costs

• Purchasing additional items for concessions

• Roses for seniors

• Subsidizing costs for the End of Year Banquet

• Purchase of tools and other materials for set construction

• Purchase of materials and hardware for costume design, and covering rental cost

• Paying for guest speakers

• Paying for accompanists

• Improvements in the High School Theater such as lighting and sound
