Music Day
Janeen Baker
Music Day is Saturday, September 9th, so SAVE THE DATE and Mark Your Calendars! Students from WSHS Music Programs will be out and about in the West Salem Neighborhoods collecting donations. Our Musical Programs need many adult volunteers for prep work, route drivers, bottle returns, etc. To help out with this event, please watch your emails from your student’s Music Program Directors for signups.

Sponsor Campaign
2023-24 West Salem Choir Sponsor Campaign
SPONSORSHIP
Board members mentioned a sponsorship opportunity briefly during the Parent Meeting on September 11, 2023. We are currently running our annual sponsorship campaign.
Financial support is vital in maintaining the program and ensuring student success. Financial support allows the Choir Boosters to keep individual student costs as low as possible and maintain the equipment and supplies needed to run an award-winning choir program. Without the generous support of our sponsors, trip participation, choir clinics, and competitions would be cost-prohibitive for many of our students.
Fill out the Sponsorship Form
Become a Choir Sponsor Today! Share with your friends, families, and businesses whom you may know that would be interested in sponsoring the West Salem Choir Program.
Please read through this form for more information on sponsorship levels and benefits. Feel free to contact West Salem Choir Boosters through email with any questions that you may have.
