Turn it Up! A Sound Fundraiser

November 12, 2026
We are upgrading the sound equipment in our orchestra. Even though at most shows you can not see them, our regular season shows always use live musicians. We are purchasing personal headphone monitors for those talented musicians, improving their experience and your enjoyment. Total project cost is $5,000 . Our goal is to have this system installed for The Wizard of Oz . Click your heels together and help us put this mini-fundraiser over the top.
