Thank you for your financial support of FORESMA!

We purchase and maintain instruments, provide 1:1 instruction and specialized coaching for students, cover the cost of transportation and registration fees to music events, and pay for new music and supplies for the band and orchestra classrooms.

The primary ways we raise funds include:

Program Fee

At the beginning of year year, we request a program fee for each student in the music program. If the fee is beyond your means, it will not preclude you from participating. Or if you have the means, you can sponsor another student as well as your own.

Evergreen Sales

Buy a holiday green in time for the winter holidays! Wreath and garland sales begin in October. Greens are picked up from school on Dec 1, 2-6pm. Direct shipping is also an option for out-of-town friends and family. Download our flyer and post at your local community centers and social media sites.
Order online before Nov 5.
