Become a Patron of the Arts
Last year alone, Patrons contributed nearly $12,000 for scholarships, new equipment and program enhancements, including two master dance classes and a portable iPod dock for Orchesis; a new conductor’s podium, portable sound system and stand for the band; a portion of the cost of a new analog mixer board to balance the sound system and components for the intercom system for the theater.

Over the last 10 years, Patrons have funded fans for the auditorium, computers for visual arts, an orchestra pit enclosure, conductor’s chair, alto flute, dance costumes, portable dance floor, and the “Principal’s Purchase Award” gallery outside the Resource Center.
