Thank you for reading this if you are an ALUM of the
BELLINGHAM HIGH SCHOOL CHOIRS!
Because of you and the success you promoted and continued, the Bellingham High School Choral Program is one of the best in the State. Thank you for working hard and promoting music wherever you are now. We want you to know you are not forgotten and we know you will probably never forget your time in BHS Choir.
If you want to support the current choir, there are many things you can do even if you live far away from Bellingham.
1. You can always send an email to Ms. Short and let her know how you are doing. I love getting emails from former students.
2. You can attend concerts if you are close by and I would love to see as many of you as possible join us on the stage for the “Hallelujah Chorus” Finale at our Winter Concert.
3. If you have one of the red polo Choir Shirts from classes in the "After the Re-Model Era" with the Red Hawk on the front, you can donate it back to the program if it is still in good condition.
4. If you live in Washington, you can purchase a “MUSIC MATTERS” License Plate when it is time to renew you plates. Almost all the money for the license plate goes to supporting music in Washington and our own BHS Music Department if that is what you designate.
5. You can call or email us if you would like us to perform for your event. Our calendar is quite busy as you can see, but like you, we love to PERFORM!
6. If you are so inclined, we can always use donations to the choirs. Your money will be well spent by helping a student raise the necessary money for travel or you can help to purchase new technology for our classroom, allow us to purchase needed equipment, pay for a special accompanist for our concerts, or help us with entry fees to festivals and other events. If you want a receipt for tax purposes, please just ask, because we are a non-profit.
7. If you are feeling very generous, you can help pay for a student to take voice lessons or for a clinician to come in and work with our choirs on something special.
8. Lastly, you can donate that old electric keyboard that is just gathering dust somewhere. Our Piano Keyboarding Classes continue to have about 26-30 students so any portable keyboard that sits on a table and can be plugged in, is a bonus for us.
