Annual Spring Musical: April 18-20...more information to come

In the beginning....

We are so fortunate at Glasgow High School to have a fantastic vocal music program, directed by Todd Woodward. As you may know, producing a musical on the scale of Beauty and the Beast or Fiddler on the Roof is very expensive...and funding in public schools is quite limited. It is the intent of this organization to provide support to the Choral Music Program at GHS, both financially and through volunteer services.

We are currently in the process of incorporation and applying for non-profit designation with the Internal Revenue Service. In the meantime, the organization will continue to provide necessary support to the students and Director of the GHS Choral Music Program. Please watch this space for information.
