For decades, the Music Boosters organization has supported education, growth and improvements for any and all music education programs within Climax-Scotts Community Schools. Through their programs, funds raised and donations, Music Boosters' efforts directly impact students involved in Band, Choir and more. What many may not realize is just how far the efforts of Music Boosters reach, making impact far beyond the walls of the Band Room.
In this Blog, we aim to look at just a few of the many ways Music Boosters supports C-S students enrolled in Music Education and many other student groups in the Climax-Scotts Community.
CSDN wishes to thank School Board President and longtime Music Booster Sue Reichert for her contributions to information and recognition shared in today's article.
For example, did you know more than 80% of the funding for the music programs (excluding teacher salaries) comes from the Music Boosters?!
If you have ever had a Band member in your household, you know firsthand those expenses can add up quickly! Music Boosters helps with many of those day-to-day expenses that come with maintenance of instruments - repairs, replacement mouth pieces, valve oils, corks, greases...the list goes on and on. In addition to assistance with instruments, other ways Music Boosters financially support the Music Program include competition expenses, camp coaches, Cedar Point trips, Color Guard expenses, music lessons, sheet music purchases and Senior Scholarships.
Quite impressively, every one of our Band Seniors receives scholarship money toward their future. Even more impressive is for all the support that was just shared, this is only a partial list!
Beyond the Music Programs, Music Boosters' impact can be seen and felt through other generous contributions. Music Boosters contributed the school's AED (Automated External Defibrillator). They aided Art Programs for both the Elementary and High Schools. They've helped with new benches for Varsity Football. Yearbook ads are taken out every year. And even last week, Music Boosters voted to once again support the English Department's trip to The Shakespeare Theater in Chicago.
And once again, this is only a partial list of what is accomplished by a small group of parents, community members and students. Funds raised by Music Boosters largely come from concessions at Climax-Scotts Athletics home games staffed by this group of amazing people.
Music Boosters meet every third Tuesday during the school year (with the exception of December) at 6 PM in the High School Band Room.
Music Boosters can always use more help! 
They also need your ideas and input
