Such expenses include purchasing of new music and arrangements, student shirts, accompanist fees, sound technician expenses, bus transportation costs to events, and classroom equipment. The EMS Choir Boosters operations budget is available for review. Please contact our treasurer if you have questions or would like to see the budget. Please check out the EMS Choir Boosters page for more information about fundraising and ways parents can support the program. Any family seeking to establish an alternate payment plan or apply for scholarships should do so before fee due dates. ​
