Local/Community Advocacy

Dear MSBOA Member/Supportive Parent:

Michigan is currently in an economic crisis of unseen proportions.  With revenues continually down in the State and costs rising, the magnitude of this crisis is simply overwhelming.  Michigan Schools are also tied into this crisis and School Funding is in constant jeopardy.  Although there are many suggestions on how to pave a path out of this crisis, inevitably we must all come together and work with our Government Officials as they are responsible for deliberating and eventually agreeing upon a budget for our State.

The Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association is asking you to become involved in the process to save Michigan Schools and ensure a solid education, including music, for the K-12 students in the State.  In order to do this, we are asking that you sign-up for an email alert system by clicking the link below.  This link will ask you to input a few valuable pieces of information that will allow us to contact you regarding important events/changes in the School Funding Crisis. 

Please  enter “MSBOA” (all caps) in the Organizational Name box.  Once you register you will receive a confirming email, please respond to the confirming email to complete your registration.
