The People Behind
Every Performance
Parrish Community Music Boosters is the 501(c)(3) nonprofit family behind the Parrish Choir program. Parents, community members, and local businesses united by one belief: every student deserves the chance to find their voice.
Music Builds More Than
Just Singers
We believe in the power of music to inspire, educate, and bring people together. Our mission is to provide the resources and opportunities Parrish choir students need to succeed on stage, in the classroom, and throughout their lives. When a student finds their voice in the choir room, they carry that confidence everywhere they go.
What We Fund
Every dollar raised goes directly to student opportunities, experiences, and growth.
Concert uniforms and performance attire so every student feels like the performer they have worked to become.
Festivals, competitions, and performance trips that expand students’ worlds and build lifelong memories together.
Professional vocal clinics and accompanist support that push students beyond the classroom.
Concert production, venue needs, and everything that makes each performance something to remember.
Making sure no student misses out because of financial barriers. Every voice matters and belongs on that stage.
Celebrating student achievement and honoring the dedication it takes to reach Superior ratings and top honors.
