Department of Music
We need your support!
Our mission is to provide financial and organizational
support for the instrumental and vocal music programs
at Blake. Our goal is to allow the musical directors to
focus on teaching, guiding and performing with students.
We will focus on providing effective and timely
communication between all interested parties including
parents, students, teachers and staff encouraging
cooperation among all involved.

Minutes from the August Music Booster Club Meeting
Attention Blake Music and Color Guard Parents
I am coordinating the sales of Music Booster merchandise and memberships at this years football games. Each game we will need 3-4 parents to cover the game. This should allow for breaks and some socializing. We will start setting up between 5:30-6:00 and sell until the rain gets too hard to keep things safe or until after the third quarter. If possible we would like to include one orchestra, blue band, or choir parent at each game so that the Marching Band or Guard parents can watch halftime. So please include your students affiliation when responding to this call for help. Please email or call with the dates that you are available. Thanks for your help. Jack Goble (jackwgoble@yahoo.com)
Game nights are Fridays: 9/11, 9/25, 10/2, 10/23 & 10/30
