Dear Music Families and Friends,

It's that time of year again and we are kicking off our annual fundraising efforts that supports our music program here at AE Wright Middle School. We are proud of our program and the great experiences our students get to have around music. We are seeking donations to our program that can help us to continue to offer the great coaching, experiences, and equipment that makes our students and program successful. This year our goal is for each student to try and at least raise $100 per student. If each student is able to help raise $100 we will be able to exceed our goal and that could provide additional opportunities for our students. If anyone's family or business donates over $500, we will recognize you in our next program at the spring concert. Listed below are some of the reasons we are seeking donations.

Music Department Fundraiser Needs

1. Brass, String, and Percussion Instrument supplies, parts, accessories - With over 20 different types of instruments from the string, woodwind, brass, and percussion families, we need to have on hand replacement parts and other needed perishable items or students are unable to participate.

2. Music Technique books - The books we use daily in class are paperback and often only last between 2 to 5 years. We need to purchase replacements and new ones for each of our ensemble’s pedagogical needs: Beginning Strings and Band, Intermediate Strings and Band, Advanced Strings and Band, Beginning and Intermediate Choir. 

3. Coaching Hours for professional Musicians - This helps differentiate and individualize instruction for the varying levels of students in our ensembles.  These relationships with the coaches also continue through high school as most of our coaches also work at either CHS or AHS.  

4. New Instruments - As instruments break and become unrepairable we need to replace them. We also have a few families of instruments that we don’t currently have and we would love to be able to offer these great opportunities for students who are unable to purchase.

5. Used Instruments (Donations) - We have more and more students joining our program every year. If you or friends have any instruments that are not being used and would like to find a new home for it please consider donating to our program. If you have an instrument, you can drop it off at the Main office and just label it as a donation and it will get to us.

Thank you for taking the time to consider donating and helping to support our music program goals. Every donation will have an immediate impact on the program and we alway appreciate the support that is given to us. We look forward to seeing you soon at our next performance. Please share this donation drive on your social media or email friends and families. Thank you in advance. Go Spartans!
