Waunakee Music Boosters
The Waunakee Music Boosters exist to support the Waunakee Community School District music programs. Any adult who lives in the school district and wants to help support the music programs can be a member. The boosters sponsor the annual Fruit Sale (Oct-Nov., delivery in Dec.) and Plant/Flower Sale (March-April, delivery in May) plus the Ice Cream Social at the first Waunakee Community Band concert in early June. Also, on Friday, February 10th, the boosters will sponsor the 4th annual "Sweetheart Dance." They provide funds for summer music camp scholarships, solo-ensemble accompanists, solo-ensemble medals, trips, concerts, guest artists & clinicians and equipment.

Any community member can get involved!!
Music Booster Donation/Fee - do I have to pay it?
The Music Booster Donation/Fee is not required. We greatly appreciate anyone who contributes to the boosters, but your son or daughter will still receive funds even if the booster donation/fee isn't paid.
Fruit Sale/Plant Sale Fundraisers - is my child required to sell?
The music boosters have 2 major fundraisers a year. One in the fall (fruit sale) and one in the spring (plant sale). We appreciate anyone who is willing to sell and contribute to the music boosters, however this is NOT required of any student.
According to the fund raising policy:
Participation in fundraising activities is to be voluntary on the part of students and families.
