So what does the Booster Club mean to our Colleyville Heritage Choir Program?  In simple terms it provides  all the "over and above" programs that jump start  our choir programs to the next level of excellence.  Picture the Seniors  each year who receive a scholarship or picture the Special Music Clinics that the Booster club funds to expose the Choirs to various music techniques. 

Each year there are a couple of questions always raised:

"I paid my $50 at registration.  Why should I pay $35 for the Choir Fee?" 

An excellent question in today's economic times but the simple raw answer is Robin Hood.  The choral department receives no direct benefit from the $50 registration fee as that supplements the overall operating budget to all of the school.  Each department receives a budget from the school that may or may not cover all of its operating costs (such as sheet music, bus transportation, competition fees and other like expenses).  The $35 helps to cover the cleaning cost of each uniform that is issued, the uniforms maintenance/repair each year, the music binder, and the choir t-shirt (required for out-of-school performances) and a small hospitality fee for events such as the Summer Pool Party, Halloween Party, Buddy Night and the like.

"Why should I become a Choir Booster?

The Choir Booster organization is a vital element to the success of the choir program at Colleyville Heritage. The Booster Club purchases the "Nice to Have's" that the district does not purchase---we recently bought a new video camera, and substantially helped purchase the new risers.  We are now fund raising for a new sound system for the choir room.  Finally,  our major goal is to keep the program fun and the students motivated to keep singing.  We do this by supporting the various social functions throughout the year.  Please consider supporting your Choir Booster club and helping make this 2010-2011 choir season the best ever for our student musicians!!!

The success of our choirs is highly dependent on dedicated and active choir booster parents. Please join our the Colleyville Heritage Choir Booster organization and help support your student’s music education.  Further, consider the many volunteer opportunities that the Booster Club has as a way to interact with your teenager.  It has been said that while you may not be "cool" to your teenager, you undoubtedly will be "cool" to another.  If nothing else, it will give you another conversational point at the dinner table. Test the theory and become involved today!
