WHAT AMF SUPPORTS
Your donations help provide all this and more across all Albany schools!
INSTRUMENTS & EQUIPMENT
AMF provides quality specialized instruments to students, including bassoons, tubas, and timpani. We repair and maintain instruments loaned to students and provide staging equipment like choir risers, music stands, and lighting and sound support.
SHEET MUSIC & SUPPLIES
We supply $10,000+ annually in sheet music for our elementary, middle, and high school music programs. We also supply every music student with band and choir t-shirts, and we support as-needed supplies so our students thrive through music.
FESTIVALS & COMPETITIONS
We pay entry fees for local, regional, and statewide festivals and competitions that teachers utilize as curricular goals for our middle and high school programs. Albany ensembles earn top marks each year, and many of our students participate in honor bands and choirs.
GRANTS & SCHOLARSHIPS
We grant funds for TK/K music and additional support for our elementary students. We provide scholarships for band and choir travel, and are honored to annually present the Jesse Chow-Smith Scholarship Award to students who love and value music in the community.
