The Music Patrons sponsor up to 3 shows per year at the high school stadium. We handle the logistics of equipment transportation to all activities and competitions. We also provide chaperones, maintain uniforms and equipment, serve on committees, and not least of all, provide enthusiastic support at football games, band competitions, concerts, and other music department events.
