Community Donations
All courses are active in our community whether they're in Choir, Orchestra, or Band. If you know of any community groups/events who are interested in donating to a music program and they need musicians, please contact Ms. Mitchell at amitchell@fusdk12.net roughly two months in advance. Last minute requests cannot be honored due to the time involved in prepping performances.

Grants
We'd like to profusely thank Scott Haggerty and the Alameda Board of Supervisors, the Grammy Foundation, and the WHS PTSA for fulfilling grant requests in the last couple of years. We were able to fully purchase our new marching uniforms as well as buy reeds, percussion supplies, and rosin for our ensembles
If you know of any grants geared towards music in the schools, instrument donation, or donation of supplies, please let Ms. Mitchell know. We usually apply to the GRAMMY Foundation awards, the Fremont Innovative Technology grant, and the WHS PTSA/Alumni Grants every year. During the summer of 2021 we are looking to expand to the Lowe's Grant (instrument storage), and the Mr. Holland's Opus Grant. |
