DULUTH EAST MUSIC BOOSTERS
WHO ARE THE DULUTH EAST MUSIC BOOSTERS?
If you have children in music groups, YOU ARE! The Duluth East Music Boosters (DEMB) aim is to assist the band, choir and orchestra directors so that they may focus more on our students and create great music. We help with many of the non-musical aspects of the music program like selling tickets, chaperoning, and planning fundraisers, including the music department’s Á La Carte Concert held annually in December. In addition, we offer financial assistance with departmental needs, helping students attend educational trips and the All-State program, funding a music scholarship to an outstanding graduating senior, and supporting instrument purchase and repairs. Finally, we e-mail announcements of upcoming concerts and volunteer opportunities. Please fill out the form below to join the mailing list!
Throughout the year there will be many opportunities to volunteer. Shortly before events take place, the DEMB will be emailing a link to a website (Signup.com) where you can sign up to volunteer. We need help with ticket sales, ushering, etc. The donation of your time eases the pre-concert burdens of the music directors and is greatly appreciated.
Our primary fundraiser is the Á la Carte Concert in every December. However, contributions to the DEMB are always welcome, and all monies go directly to supporting the music program at East High School. To donate, please see the link below, look for opportunities at concerts, and on Give to the Max Day. Donations are tax deductible. Thank YOU!
All parents are welcome and encouraged to attend the monthly DEMB meetings! The DEMB generally meets with the music directors the first Monday evening each month for approximately an hour. If you have any questions and/or are willing to participate, please attend the meetings and/or contact us at demboosters@gmail.com. Please join us!
