Welcome

The WCHS Music Booster Club is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established to support and benefit musical education for the 500+ students participating in instrumental and choral ensembles at Winston Churchill High School.  

We are so excited to be starting the 2023-24 school year with the over 500 students participating in our instrumental and choral ensembles. Thanks to your generosity over the last two years, we’ve been able to raise enough funds to install state-of-the-art audio systems in our rehearsal spaces and to purchase new instruments for all of our programs including a digital piano, a set of 30 acoustic guitars, cellos, bass clarinets, a bass drum, a tuba, and more! However, the music department still has considerable unmet needs since we are only allocated less than $10 per student per year, and that money is only allowed to go towards fixing old and broken instruments.

We are trying to raise $15,000 this year to undertake a major project to upgrade our music library. Due to lack of storage space, we sometimes have no choice but to throw music away to make room for our new music. We would also like to invest in new band stands for the jazz ensemble and a new upright bass, as well as needed equipment, supplies, and repairs. 

We encourage you to make a tax-deductible donation to the WCHS Music Booster Club today by clicking “Donate Now.” Every dollar will go directly to our music programs, and every family that donates will receive a yard sign this spring to show their support for their WCHS musician(s).   

To stay up-to-date on WCHS music events, please follow us on Facebook and Instagram @WCHSMusicBoosterClub and on Twitter @music_wchs. 

Thank you for your support of the Churchill music program!
