Our Music Dept. Citrus Sale, now in its 20th year, is a well-established fundraiser, anticipated by our community and alumni. In 2019, one of our best pre-COVID sales ever, our music students SOLD 1,498 boxes and earned a PROFIT of $21,820.
Each year, our Band, Choir, and Orchestra ensembles all participate in regional music festivals. The monies raised from this sale will help students defray the cost of their festival participation.
Information on how to order will be distributed in class this week. If you or anyone you know is interested in supporting our groups, please share our information. Your enthusiastic participation will ensure our success!
