• Hosting receptions, including the Senior Farewell reception in the spring
   

• Providing volunteers and coordinating support for fund raisers for the traveling performing groups
   

• Providing a dress rehearsal dinner and volunteer support for the spring musical, including help with costumes makeup, sets and the playbill
   

• Providing support for the All-County and NYSSMA festivals held in our district
   

• Sponsoring several student awards as well as a scholarship each year to a graduating senior who will be pursuing a career in the arts

 

Most importantly we have fun! We support our children and all the great talent in every facet of the performing arts at F-M High School. It's a great way to stay involved with our children, and make great friends at the same time. This group of parents really becomes a cohesive support system for the entire music and drama wing, and for each other! Our meetings are open to anyone and everyone! Your thoughts, ideas, interest, and time are welcome and appreciated.
