MUSIC BOOSTERS
Westside Music Boosters is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization formed in 2003 by music parents to support the Band, Choir and Orchestra programs at Westside and its feeder schools. Led by an executive board of parent officers and the music directors, WMB strives to enhance the experience of all music students. We do this through financial support, volunteerism, and advocacy.
WMB recently has supported the music programs in the following ways:
- Hospitality and concessions for music contests held at Westside HS and West Briar MS;
- Financial support and chaperones for our March 2008 trip to Orlando;
- Financial support for and organization of our spring music banquet;
- Chaperones and snacks for events away from school;
- Recruitment events for middle school music students;
- Fundraisers for trips, student fees, and general program needs; and
- Beginning in 2008, scholarships awarded annually to 2 graduating seniors planning to major in music.
