Your financial contribution will directly benefit the over 400 students involved in the West High string program.
The West High Symphony Strings is a nationally recognized program, and this year, the ensemble has been selected to perform at both The Midwest Clinic-International Band and Orchestra Conference and the American String Teachers Association (ASTA) National Orchestra Festival and Competition—two of the premier national events in our discipline.
Being invited to perform at these prestigious events is a tremendous honor for our students and our program. We need your support to help us reach our $20,000 fundraising goal!
