The Wylie Choir Booster Club exists to help the Wylie High Pirate Choirs in areas that school budget resources can’t assist. One of the biggest questions asked is “What do fundraising monies from the booster club do?” Here is a list of just a few things we to provide, with your help and support.
1. Partial voice lesson scholarships for students in need
2. Scholarships for graduating seniors and those attending All-State camps
3. Expenses for All Region and All State Choir
4. Choir family fellowships and Future Pirate Night party
5. Concert and classroom needs
6. Assistance for Choir Banquet
How Can I Help?
With over 300 outstanding students in our choir program, we need a lot of assistance. Because of your student’s participation in the Wylie Pirate Choir, all parents are automatically members of the booster club. We ask each family to find at least ONE way they can help to support our booster club. Ways to help can include a sponsorship, provide a service from your business, or volunteer to work in concessions!
