DONATIONS & FUNDRAISER
Fundraising is critical to the success of the THS Instrumental Music Program. We strive to keep student fees affordable so that all students are able to participate in the instrumental music program of their choice. Our fundraising program is designed around a core of fundraisers that bring in the majority of needed funds.

A word from our Boosters…
Tuscarora Instrumental Music Donation Drive
The award-winning Tuscarora Instrumental Music Program performs in numerous competitions, showcases, parades, and concerts throughout the school year. You can be proud that the student in the program that provided your contact information is hardworking, dedicated, and of strong character. In order to continue with our strong tradition of excellence, we need support from members of the community.
As is the case with most public schools across the country, Tuscarora High School receives no funding from Frederick County Public Schools for the purchase and maintenance of instruments and other music needs. Therefore, it is the sole responsibility of the Tuscarora High School Instrumental Music Boosters, a not-for-profit organization led entirely by parent volunteers, to raise these funds.
Our current goal is to fundraise $20,000 outside of our normal operations to replace the nearly 20-year-old instruments currently in use and some of the 10-year old uniforms that are starting to wear. We are asking for your generous donations to assist us in maintaining and replacing these instruments as well as supporting our other program needs.
We need you, our THS music friends, families, and alumni, to help us continue the tradition of Titan Pride in our community by making a donation today. We thank you in advance for your consideration and hope that you will help us keep the rich tradition of having the Tuscarora Instrumental Music Program be a premier program in the state of Maryland.

Poinsettia Sale
Each holiday season, adults and students sell poinsettias throughout the community. This year’s sale is now open and runs through November 22. Sales can be made online or in person with a member of any of the ensembles. We sell 6 and 8 inch varietals in either red or white from Catoctin Mountain Growers. Deliveries will be the week of December 2.
Car Washes
Location: Advanced Auto Parts (6602 Crestwood Boulevard, Frederick, MD 21703)
Our students and adult supervisors wash and dry cars in return for donations to THSIMB. We supply the soap, sponges, towels and elbow grease. This is a great way to promote teamwork and camaraderie among the students while offering a worthwhile service to the community. See the calendar for dates & look for the SignUpGenius for your opportunity to volunteer.
B-I-N-G-O
A bingo event is held during each school year. Tickets can be bought in advance from any music student or purchased at the door on the day of the event. We are always looking for families or businesses to sponsor a game! Details will be available as we near the event.
Tuscarora Indoor Invitational
In conjunction with the Keystone Indoor Drill Association (KIDA), an indoor percussion and color guard competition is held annually at our high school during late winter or early spring. Hosting a competition provides a forum to showcase regional student talent and promote the principles of healthy and effective competition for student performers.
