The Club has approximately 450 students in the program ranging from grades 6 through 12. These students attend the following public schools, all of which are part of the Richardson, Texas Independent School District: Richardson High School, Westwood Junior High School, Richardson West Junior High School and associated Elementary schools. While the Club serves the orchestra students of the public school district, it is independent of the school district and receives no public funding. It operates as a booster club in compliance with guidelines issued by the University Interscholastic League and Richardson Independent School District (RISD). The Club pursues student musical development in several ways. The Club offersmusic tutors to students at set by RISD, and hires hiring music professionals to provide group clinics to all students several times each year. The Club offers financial aid to students who are unable to afford private lessons. The Club offers large orchestral instruments (i.e., cello and bass)for student use, because the purchase of such instruments by families is expensive in comparison to the smaller instruments. The Club maintains a uniform closet used to fit students for concerts, facilitates an annual field trip to visit the music school of a state university, supports the spring and fall orchestra concerts at each participating school, supports the students participation in an annual district-wide music festival and assists the students in preparing for University Interscholastic League competitions. The Club also supports the district wide string fling in which all 450 orchestra students play simultaneously for the community at large. 60806 Each year the Club provides multiple opportunities for Junior and Senior High School students to perform in the local community. Several nearby Senior Living Communities, a local Mall, and a preschool have all enjoyed our having students play for them in recent years. Finally, the Club facilitate several team development and social bonding events during the school year, including outings like a trip to the symphony and ice skating and hosts an end of year awards banquet for our high school students. 38861 99667 Jeff Gardner President 1.00 0 Heather Schmidt Treasurer 1.00 0 Ashley Grimes Vice President 1.00 0 Laurie Eves Vice President 1.00 0 Leslie Victoria Vice President 1.00 0 Brandee Schmidt Secretary 1.00 0 Jon Meredith Jackson Historian 1.00 0 Ellen Bond Parliamentarian 1.00 0 Allyson Vaughn Parliamentarian 1.00 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false Heather Schmidt PO Box 835004 Richardson TX 750835004 2143406778 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 1523 826 100 2045 4494 5793 8247 12309 13704 11923 51976 11284 42790 76071 74638 92704 297487 0 0 18600 51863 88380 88442 106672 353957 0 0 353957 30 15 45 0 30 15 45 0 0 18630 51878 88380 88442 106672 354002 0.99990 0.99950 0.00010 0.00050 X Fundraiser 42823 42823 42823 42823 42823 Other Revenue.1 Private Lesson $3000 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $4344 Other Expenses.1012 Insurance $735 Other Expenses.1 Program $39000 Other Expenses.2 Clinicians & Accompanists $24577 Other Expenses.3 Uniforms $16790 Other Expenses.4 Classroom & Student Supplies $9445 Other Expenses.5 Instruments $6363 Other Expenses.6 Private Lessons $3000 Other Expenses.7 Spirit Merchandise $492
