# Boosters Info

## 🎶 South Hills Middle School Performing Arts Boosters (PAB)

### Who We Are

The SHMS Performing Arts Boosters (PAB) is a **non-profit group of parents and guardians** who support our school’s band, orchestra, choir, and drama programs. The Boosters focus exclusively on raising money, organizing volunteers, and enhancing the performing arts experience for all students.

### What We Support

Thanks to family and community support, PAB helps fund and organize:

- 6th grade field trip to the Detroit Symphony Orchestra
- 7th grade *Domination Tour* – buses for visits to elementary schools
- Pajama Jammin’ & lock-ins for band, choir, and orchestra
- Professional mentors for Solo & Ensemble prep
- Flowers, hot cocoa at concerts, pizza on half days.
- Performance polo shirts for students in need

### How Families Can Get Involved

Volunteering is **easy and fun**—and your child will be proud to see you helping! Most opportunities take place before or after concerts you’re already attending.

Ways to help:

- Sell fundraising items at performances
- Help with event setup/cleanup
- Join a committee (fundraising, hospitality, communications, etc.)
- Share your professional skills (graphic design, photography, digital help, etc.)

#### Time Commitment

- **1–2 hours per month**: Attend a virtual meeting + volunteer at performances
- **Board Roles**: \\~2 hours per month during the school year to keep things running smoothly

### Leadership Opportunities

We need **new board members** as families transition to high school. Please contact <president@shmspab.org> for more information

Serving on the board is straightforward and a great way to ensure the success of our programs.
