The Mount Pleasant Community School District Music Boosters are kicking off their annual garbage bag fundraiser to support local student music programs.
Within the next two weeks, representatives from Charity Services Inc. will begin contacting residents on behalf of the Mt. Pleasant Music Boosters. Callers will provide information about garbage bag sizes, pricing, quantities, and how to place an order. Purchased items will be delivered directly to customers’ homes.
Currently the Music Boosters are in the process of replacing and upgrading multiple instruments across the district. This includes multiple pianos, drums for the Middle School drumline, and trombones for the excelling High School Jazz Band. Any proceeds made from the sales of trash bags would help offset these costs.
Currently the Music Boosters are developing a plan to update our soundboard and lighting system.
The Music Boosters support instrumental and vocal music programs for students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Funds raised help maintain major events such as the Marching Band Invitational, High School Variety Show, InMotion Show Choir Invitational, Dessert Theatre, OPUS Honor Choir, the Iowa All-State Music Festival, and the Middle School Honor Band Festival.
Membership in the Music Boosters is free and open to families with children involved in school music, as well as community members who support the arts.
