Hello from the Ponderosa Music Boosters Club, a 501c3 organization. We are parents of band, orchestra, and choir students at Ponderosa High School. Our mission is to support our musical students in multiple ways, including:

• Transport large instruments and equipment for off-campus events. We use the boosters trailers to transport instruments and equipment to and from off-campus events, such as football games or music festivals. 

• Feed our students during off-campus events. Thanks to volunteers, we’re able to feed our students at off-campus events. In years past, you could spot us setting up our picnic tables, crock pots, and tents in the Echo stadium parking lot during football games. 

• Decorate and provide refreshments during on-campus performances. We decorate the stage and organize refreshments for band, orchestra, and choir performances held at Ponderosa High School.

• Host the End of Year Banquet. We coordinate and plan the end of year banquet, where we celebrate the accomplishments of our music students, especially graduating seniors.

• Help purchase instruments. We use our funds to assist in the purchase of large instruments. We recently helped purchase tubular bells for the percussion section.

• Help purchase music. We use our funds to assist in the purchase of music rights and the music for our many performances.

• Provide uniform fittings. We helpe fit students for their concert attire. And we plan to help fit students for their marching band uniforms.

• Promote and recruit. To help recruit new musical students, we host various events  that include catered meals and goodie bags. These events give up-and-coming students a chance to learn about the Ponderosa High School Music program and meet current music students. 

• Fundraise. Our most important job is raising funds to support the Ponderosa High School Music programs. We organize large fundraisers to cover expenses and contribute directly to the program. This year, we are hosting the annual peach sale. We offer business sponsorship opportunities and restaurant nights throughout the year.
