October 2024

Dear Friend of Music,

Thank you for your interest in supporting our student musicians this school year as a community sponsor of Niskayuna Friends of Music!

As the booster club for the performing arts, we are a non-profit parent-volunteer organization. We depend on  local businesses and organizations like yours to support our district’s award-winning music program. Students are already hard at work, preparing for: 

• 26 concerts during the 2024-2025 academic year, from elementary through high school

• A district-wide band festival at Proctors Theatre, with musicians from 5th -12th grade performing

• 500 students participating in chorus, band and orchestra, from elementary through high school

• 12 different high school ensembles, including jazz, chamber and a cappella styles

• Sunset Boulevard, our high school musical, with nearly 100 students in the cast, crew and orchestra 

As a Friend of Music sponsor, your business or organization appears in the printed program for ALL of these performances! From November through May, you will reach thousands of teachers, students, parents, grandparents and family members, who see your support of music in our schools! 

We also feature your logo in three district-wide newsletters, as well as our website. You will receive a special Nisky Friends of Music window cling to display at your business. You can also  name a chair in our auditorium and be thanked during remarks at each concert. As always, your gift is fully tax-deductible and can be paid by check or credit card via PayPal on our website. 

Please let us know if you’d like to renew by Thursday, October 24th, to be included in the program for our first fall concert series.

Please join us again, playing your part in the beautiful music our students will be making this school year! 

Thank you in advance for your consideration,

Jill Fountain President, Friends of Music
