Dear Orchestra Parents,

The mission of the South County Secondary School Orchestra Booster Club (SCSSOBC) is to support the Orchestra director and students so that they will have an enjoyable and successful year. We carry out fundraising events to provide funding for orchestra music events, the purchase and maintenance of orchestra equipments, and many other forms of support. As parent/guardian of SCSS orchestra student(s), you are automatically a member of SCSSOBC. There are no membership fees and all of our orchestra concerts are free of charge.

With this in mind, please consider becoming an Orchestra Patron and/or help us get the word out to individuals and businesses (e.g., any of your regular service providers) that might be interested in supporting our orchestra program. As you can see from the Patron form, there are several levels of donation, although we welcome any amount. All donors will be listed in the orchestra concert programs and on the orchestra website unless they wish to remain anonymous. A business can make a contribution and advertise at the same time. The SCSSOBC is a 501(c)(3) organization and all donations are TAX-DEDUCTIBLE to the extent of the law; a tax receipt will be provided to donors.

If more convenient than mailing, you may turn in any donation(s) to Mrs. Lancaster via your student. Every little bit helps and will be truly appreciated.

Thank you.

Opa Gaillard, president
SCSS Orchestra Booster Club



Considering a Degree in Music?

If you are considering making music your career, be sure to make plans to visit the Performing and Visual Arts College Fair, held each fall at the convention center in DC!

You'll find almost every college and music conservatory in the country represented there. It's helpful to decide ahead of time which schools you want to consider so that you can make the best use of your time. 

Consider using this form to compare the various schools since it helps you gather the same info from each school (you can obtain answers to many of the questions in advance by visiting the college/conservatory websites).
