The DeKalb Music Boosters has a variety of fund raising activities that support the needs of band, choir, and orchestra. The time commitment varies with the specific fund raising activity and “many hands make light work” so help where you can. To help out, check out the activities below and contact the coordinator of the fund raising activity that sounds interesting to you or call someone on that volunteer list.
All the money raised helps our music performance programs
with specific music needs identified by the music performance director
or supports a performance trip. We have contributed over $50,000
for instruments, equipment, uniforms, SmartMusic programs, computers, buses
for trips, concert halls, accompanists and much more.

Corn Fest Craft Fair
A major yearly fundraiser for Music Boosters is the Craft Fair at DeKalb Corn Fest. Many months of planning go into the organization and co-ordination of hosting over 80 vendors at Clinton Rosette Middle School. Many student and parent volunteers are needed for advance planning and preparation and to help on the weekend itself. Vendor Letter

Grant
Writing
Grant Writing is done for the music performance directors
requesting specific items for their program. Anyone with writing skills
can assist with writing grants. In addition, we are looking for places
to submit grants as the music needs are many.
