As a local business owner or member of the community, you can appreciate that it takes money and local support to run a successful business - not unlike the music program at Eastlake High School.

 

Each year, funds provided by the state for arts programs are decreased, while the costs involved in running a successful program increase.  We are working on raising funds for new instruments, instrument repair, uniforms, special instruction and assisting students in sending them to yearly competitions and festivals to compete and perform with other schools, as well as continuing to expand the participation of football and basketball pep bands.

 

Studies show that students who participate in music programs have improved test scores in other academic areas, especially mathematics.  We hope that you will consider becoming a patron of the arts, and make a contribution to this worthy program which will greatly enhance the educational and performance experiences of our students and potential future leaders.

 

We have several levels of support for you to consider.  All donations will be recongnized in our performance programs for all band, orchestra and choir concerts and on the this web site (including web links when possible) through the entire 2006-2007 school year.  Your generous contribution will be viewed by parents, families and friends from our community.  In addition, you will be provided with a certificate which you can display at your place of business.
