Crofton High School's Music Department consists of over 300 musicians in various classes and programs across band, chorus, marching band and orchestra. Our goal as the Music Boosters is to support the music teachers and students by raising funds to financially assist the department; offering additional opportunities for students to perform and grow as musicians; and helping to develop a spirit of friendship and camaraderie through Music Booster sponsored service opportunities and special events.

Your tax deductible donation helps build Crofton High's music library for our band, chorus and orchestra programs. Each piece of music that an ensemble plays costs between $50 and $100. Most ensembles perform four to six pieces per concert, so those expenses add up, especially for a newer high school with a smaller inventory of past music to choose from.
