WELCOME TO THE VIRTUAL
​WINTER MUSIC EXTRAVAGANZA


WELCOME TO SARATOGA MUSIC BOOSTERS

Saratoga Music Boosters (SMB) is an all-volunteer, charitable organization that supports music education across the elementary, middle and high school grades at Saratoga schools. Including color guard, choir, band, orchestra, jazz, and percussion - SMB supports our dedicated teachers in the delivery of excellent music education.

Here are just a few examples of how SMB benefactor donations enhanced our music programs last year:
  • Instrument maintenance, accessories and purchase for both orchestra and band.
  • Method books and sheet music
  • Instructors and professional clinicians / specialists to allow for specialized and small group strings and band teaching
  • Pianist accompanist for choir
  • Quality sound systems and music teaching technology for music facilities
  • Color guard instructors and supplies such as flags and props.
For the 2020/21 school year and the extra challenges of remote learning SMB will be providing some unique support to the music programs including:
  • Enhanced expert clinicians to support small group remote instruction
  • Professional video production for virtual performances in band, orchestra and choir
  • Guest speaker series by professional artists of various backgrounds (musicians, composers, educators, designers and choreographers)
  • Purchase of new music with flexible instrumentation and/or small ensemble to enhance engagement and collaboration in Virtual Learning.
  • Professional adjudicators to provide personalized feedback to enhance performance and musical skills.
Donations are fully tax deductible. SMB is a registered 501(c)(3) organization. EIN#: 51-0187615

​We were thrilled to have finally brought our 5th grade beginning band program into the school day starting with the 2019-2020 school year!

This is just one exciting step toward our larger vision of sustainable music education in our district. In our pursuit of jumpstarting this program, we are asking for the help and support of our community and networks in completing our fundraising for the incredible gift of providing band instruments for all beginning students, as we must provide every interested student the necessary tools to participate.

Please find more information and details in the file below, consider helping us out with a tax-deductible donation, and share our campaign with anyone else who might be interested.

Thank you so much for your support!
