Mission

The Richardson Area Orchestra Club (Club) is a parent led organization whosegoal is to cultivate growth of participating students in their appreciation for and performance of orchestral music, as individuals and with a group, before a variety of audiences. 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).

Program accomplishments

  • 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.
    Expenses $60,986
  • 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.
    Expenses $25,842
