South Kingstown Music Boosters

SK Music Boosters seeks additional members!

8/13/2019

South Kingstown Music Boosters are seeking additional members to join our organization for the 2019-2020 school year. As you may know, SKMB is powered by volunteers, individuals just like YOU, who believe in the positive impact music has on young peoples’ lives. It is the spirit of volunteerism that enables students to attend music field trips, thanks to those who serve as parent chaperones. It is the spirit of volunteerism that contributes to the overall enjoyment of concerts throughout the school year, thanks to those who serve as ushers, cashiers, bakers and bake sale staff. It is the spirit of volunteerism that made it possible for us to raise approximately $7000 at this year’s annual event, Jazz by the Sea, which raises funds for student scholarships.
What else do SK Music Booster volunteers do? Please join us at our first meeting for the new school year and learn of the many ways we promote and support quality music programs in all our district schools.

Shout Out to the Wakefield Concert Band!

5/25/2019

We would like to extend a HUGE THANK YOU to the Wakefield Concert Band for their generous donation to the SK Music Boosters. The WCB holds an annual benefit concert in the spring, with proceeds going to our organization as well as South County Health. At our May meeting last week, members of the band presented a check for $1500 to the SK Music Boosters. We are humbled by the benevolence of WCB and grateful for this donation, which helps us to extend the reach of our student music scholarships.
