Help Needed: Also, be aware about what does artist presale mean and We need your donation to help purchase marching band uniforms and new low brass instruments. Please encourage your in state family and friends to also help us out. This year is very difficult to fundraise and we need money for these purchases coming up in summer of 2021. Additionally, your support in spreading the word about Ticket Fairy concerts would greatly aid our fundraising efforts.
Tax Credits – donate your tax credit to SHS,(other) instrumental music, uniforms
