United In Praise
Our band family met last night with United In Praise.
This is a local choir organization that gives back to the community by helping with non-profit grants.
There were MANY community programs that came out to tell about there needs.
It proves that our community is in the need of help.
But it proves there are people in our community that are willing to help. Some of the programs that were heard were about the local food pantries and local woman shelters.
We really hope and pray for us to receive the grant that they are offering. We have so many children that we can reach. Last year our budget met the needs we had but some of the improvements to out MCSC program were not met. This is our main goal this year as the Mustang Music Association,
BUT it also lets us know that next year we need to do some can food drives and other fundraisers that help others in our community. If we are to ask our community for support...
WE must give back to our community.
We give thanks to the following....
Teri Ern
David, Darian and Lauren DiMassino
Kenneth Purvee

Our new local sponsorship letter
Greetings,
we are writing to request your personal or business support of our
band program.
The
EMS Mustang Band, under the direction of Mr. Gerald Ricke, wins
numerous awards each year.
Out
of the $20,000 annual operating expenses 94% must be generated by our
student body through
fund raising and the generous community support of people like you.
Currently,
in order to participate in the band program, students are required to
purchase or
rent an instrument, buy a uniform, provide entry fees for
competitions and absorb the transportation cost for these trips.
Most of the funds have to be provided by the parents.
Our
goal through community support is to help offset some of these
expenses and to provide those students with the greatest financial
needs the opportunity to be able to participate in our school’s
music program through scholarships. Boys and girls who are active in
the arts, especially in a music program, are shown to maintain higher
GPA’s, are more likely to complete a higher level of education and
in turn give back to their community.
Donating
to the Eustis Mustang Band Program
is an investment in our future!
Please
become an EMS Music Education Partner today.
Blue
level and above donations will be recognized in BOTH the Eustis
Middle School and Eustis
High School Band literature throughout the coming school year.
This
equals twice the exposure for your business!
Thank
you, we appreciate your consideration and support.

The Eustis Mustang Music Association is invited by United We Praise
Last month we applied for a grant.
It was a Facebook shared process.
Thanks to our band family and friends we all liked and shared our initial application enough to get us an invitation to their community board meeting. They will be hearing from a number of groups in our community. We all know how much each one of us could use the support. But our improvements to our MCSC program really would come faster and easier with any extra funds. So here is to starting the year off right next year!
Our Facebook request to United Praise can be found at
Please find information about our MCSC Program
right here on this blog.
And for more information on United We Praise here is their Facebook Page
If you have any suggestions please feel fee to
post a comment or email
