Colchester Music Needs YOU!
You may recognize us as the group that sells flowers and DVD’s at concerts and hold the giant Krispie Kreme fundraiser for music programs. Friends of Colchester Music is an active group of parents, community members and music teachers who advocate and fundraise for all the music programs in the Colchester School District.
None of our fundraising activities can happen this fall due to COVID
but our music students and teachers still need our support.
Maybe now more than ever!
but our music students and teachers still need our support.
Maybe now more than ever!
In an effort to reduce the impact COVID had on our music programs we purchased:
- materials to make bell covers for the brass instruments at the high school
- individual music kits for our elementary students
- six pianos for the middle school
- twenty one piano bags for the high school.
We need your help to keep this up!
If 300 families from across the district donated just $20 we could almost replace the lost revenue from our Krispie Kreme fundraiser!
Please make a gift today!

CONCERT FOR EQUITY - FUNDRAISER |
|
CHS Band students have opportunity to teach someone else the instrument they play. The person learning the instrument will be learning the first five notes on the instrument, as well as a short song that uses those 5 notes. The end goal is to have all of the learners assemble on stage at the Spring concert March 31st, and perform this small song together.
It's being called "Concert for Equity", because this is also a fundraiser for 3 charitable organizations in our area that do great work for students/people dealing with inequitable situations. Those three organizations are the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program, the Vermont Food Bank, and COTS. These three organizations have had, and continue to have, a substantial impact on the lives of some of our students who are most in need.
This is how the fundraiser works - whoever learns the instrument will "pay" for the 4-5 lessons on the instrument chosen. That payment will go straight to those 3 organizations as a donation. The suggested donation is $20, but it could be less or more than that, whatever is possible. Total funds raised will be split evenly between the three organizations.
