Sandy High Music Program Races to Raise Funds for New Concert Grand Piano by December 17

Hello Mountain Times Readers,

My name is Amanda and I’m the fundraising chair volunteer of Sandy High Music Foundation and a Sandy High parent. SHMF is a nonprofit parent volunteer group supporting the music program of Sandy High School. We are not affiliated with the Oregon Trail School District.

This year, our fundraising goal is a new piano!

• 12/10 is the High School Winter Band concert

• 12/17 is the High School Choirs concert!

Each night we will have a silent auction and bake sale to help raise funds for the new piano.  The current Steinway piano is 120 years old, and while it still plays music, it needs a major tuneup. It also has to be rolled down the hall and onto the stage every time there’s an event. We know our music program deserves better!

This new piano will live on the stage keeping it in tune and in pristine condition longer. Our terrific Choir director, Mr.Chase, reached out to Michelle’s Pianos and they have one on consignment. It’s a 9’ concert grand piano on loan to us for our concerts this winter generously from Michelle’s piano.

The Samick concert piano was just delivered to the Sandy High stage on 12/6. We have less than 2 weeks to raise $16,500 or the piano has to go back to Michelle’s Piano store.

This piano, if we can raise the funds, will be an amazing new addition to the music and community of Sandy for decades and generations!  

Please help us share this terrific opportunity with the community. 

Thank you

Amanda Beals
