The Jenison Choirs are enthusiastically supported by the Jenison Choir Boosters. This "booster" group provides scholarships, parent support, uniform maintenance and other extras to our choirs at all levels. They are funded by a few fund-raisers during the year, Entertainment Books in the Fall, the Holiday Nut Sale and the spring Cheese and Sausage sale.
A significant portion of the profits from the Choir fundraisers are kept in the choir student accounts. Students can use the money in their accounts to purchase music-related materials throughout the year. Lessons, Solo & Ensemble fees, uniform costs, trips are just some of the things students use their accounts to pay for. All money in students' accounts must be spent on music materials by graduation. The accounts do carry over from year to year.
The Choir Boosters hold General meetings quarterly (Sep, Nov, Jan, and April), at 7:00 pm in the Jenison High School Choir Room.
