Support the Performing Arts Department - Click Here

The best way to help the Performing Arts Department is by purchasing more items (even if they are cheaper) not by purchasing more expensive items.   Their profits are determined by the number of items they sell, not by the sales price of each item.   Profits for this fundraiser are flat, not a percentage.   Basically - Buy 2 cheap t-shirts, not 1 expensive sweatshirt!   Thanks - Performing Arts

Why help the Performing Arts Department?! This fundraiser is for the purpose of helping raise $15,000 for the band and orchestra to perform in an adjudicated event and take a trip to Cedar Point in May of 2019. Additionally, the funds will be used to purchase sheet music, pay audition/application fees, pay professionals to work with our students, and much more! Plus, this gear looks great and will help your Viking Spirit!!!

Important Info: The sale runs until midnight on Sunday, December 2nd. This particular catalog contains orchestra, choir, and general Valley gear.  Make sure to include the name of a student or performing arts teacher that has asked you to purchase when you check out. You may pay online with a card or with cash when presented with an order form from a student. No checks, please. Thank you for your support!
