|
The Whitman Instrumental Music Boosters Club is open to all parents of students in the instrumental music program. The Boosters Club provides administrative assistance, organizes parent social and fundraising events, and helps coordinate festivals, concerts, and the music awards night. There is a niche for every parent who wishes to become involved. It is a terrific way to connect to the Whitman music community.
Meetings
The Boosters Club holds two meetings each year to discuss upcoming events and gain parent input on activities. An introductory meeting is held in the fall; the second meeting takes place just before the spring music trip. Please check the calendar and listserv announcements for details.

Boosters Club Events
Annual Garden Party
A main event for the Music Boosters is our Annual Garden Party, an opportunity for parents and faculty to meet and mingle in the home of a Whitman family. Usually held in the fall, this social event provides a time and place for all gather over good food (provided by parent volunteers) while enjoying music provided by our students.
Winter Concert Reception
To celebrate our students’ musical accomplishments, the Music Boosters hosts a short reception in the school cafeteria immediately following the Winter Concert. The Boosters Club welcomes parents’ contributions of food and beverages, as well as volunteer assistance.
Music Awards Night
Whitman’s Instrumental Music Awards night is held in late spring, shortly before the end of the school year. Students are treated to a buffet dinner coordinated by parent volunteers. Following the dinner, parents are invited to watch the ceremony. In addition to the prestigious awards for outstanding members of band, orchestra, and jazz, many other recognitions are given to students in all grades.
