North Hunterdon Music Association

 Dear North Hunterdon High School Students, Parents, Staff and Community Members:

 The North Hunterdon Music Association (NHMA) is an independent, non-profit organization that supports the music programs at North Hunterdon High School. This is a volunteer organization. Everything the organization has accomplished has been through volunteer work. That's why we look to you for your support and participation. We strive to focus our efforts on the needs of our music students, programs and events. That's why we try to limit our fundraising activities.  Thus, increasing membership is one key way to support all our talented music students and keep the arts alive and flourishing at North.

 We provide many services for the North student body. This includes but is not limited to:

• Ongoing scholarships for musical workshops throughout the year.
• Scholarships for graduating seniors.

• Receptions after all concerts.
• Help with purchasing choir uniforms.
• Supporting the band & guard with food & drink.
• Transporting instruments & equipment for the band.
• Servicing a coat check for the Homecoming Dance.

 NHMA also keeps our members informed as to budget issues that may affect your child’s music experience at North.

 Here’s a tip for “old” and “new” North parents alike:  Did you know you can purchase season tickets for home football games in the North Athletic Office?  It is a great deal for the whole family!  Also, if you volunteer to help move equipment for the band, you never have to pay for a game, home or away!! Find out how you can participate by using the contact information below.

 That said, you can find a membership form at the link on this page. Please consider joining even if you do not have a child in any music class or group right now, as the NHMA serves the entire school population.  The instrumental and vocal groups represent our school not only at football games, but also at performances within the community and across the country and includes events such as competitions & parades.

Together lets look forward to a fantastic year and an influx of new members and volunteers to make our organization strong and even more successful to better serve our children.

PLEASE attend our first meeting on Monday, September 10th @ 7:30 PM -  in Room 123 at NHHS.  Don't hesitate to contact me if there are questions.Also, feel free to contact us with any questions you might have: Sandy Seidorf   730-9769   spseidorf@aol.com

General Information

The North Hunterdon Music Association, NHMA, is a non-profit organization composed of concerned parents of North Hunterdon High School music students. Our function is to encourage, promote, and support music area students, faculty, and programs. Money from our fundraisers is used to provide six annual $500 scholarships for graduating seniors. We also assist in funding performance/competition trips for the music students. In the past, NHMA has contributed funds for choral attire, marching band raincoats, band front flags and uniforms, and other special needs.

NHMA also sponsors the Gary Gilbert Memorial Fund. This is named for an incredible individual who was very much involved with NHMA for several years. Gary was very excited about music and encouraged students to go further in their studies. This fund provides help for just that and is open to all North Hunterdon High School music students. If there is a workshop, music camp, or seminar your student would like to attend anytime during the year, NHMA would like to help. Applications can be obtained from the music teachers.

Meetings are held at NHHS on the second Monday of each month at 7:30 PM in Room 123. Hope to see you there!

We always have room for new faces, we always need volunteer's help and support.
Please consider volunteering.

How We Use IT and How We Make IT

NHMA uses its fund raising dollars directly for student activities.  These include providing anything from paper goods, food and drink for banquets, concerts, and band activities to clothes for choirs, band items, and awards for the students.  But the majority of our money is used to provide two types of scholarships for music students: the first consists of six $500 scholarships for graduating seniors; and the second type is the Gary Gilbert Scholarship for partial tuition to further any student’s music education outside the classroom which are given throughout the year.

  The following is a list and brief description of upcoming events (some of which are fundraisers) and the dates that apply:

October 20, 2007  -  Homecoming Dance Coat Check

November 10, 2007 - Presidents Own Marine Corp Band Concert
