At Lundahl Middle School and Beardsley Middle School, our theater program was self-funded. In order to provide students with the most authentic experience possible in terms of show rights, costumes, sets, props, and technology, we did several fundraisers.
My philosophy regarding fundraising is that we should provide a service in exchange for donations, rather than selling products. The service should also strengthen the bond of the musical staff and students.
Annual fundraisers at Lundahl and Beardsley included:
Parents' Night Out: The Musical Team hosted evening events for students so that parents could have the night off. There was a fee to attend the event. Events included things like:
Movie Night
Story Night
Sports Night
School Dance/Square Dance Night
Game Night
Team Building Night (Capture the Flag)
Program Kuddos:
Family and friends of the musical students could purchase program space for a special note or message celebrating their child.
Professional Acting Workshop:
For each show, professional actors came to school to do a workshop with the musical kids.
The workshops covered:
Audition preparation
Character development
Comedic acting
Improvisation
