2019 Kaleidoscope Concert - Saturday, October 12 @ 7:30 PM -
LT (SEAL) Brendan Looney '99 Convocation Center
The Kaleidoscope Concert is a social fundraiser to benefit the instrumental music program. This event replaces the Annual Gala & Auction of past years and is designed to provide an economical and enjoyable evening for our supporters, while profiling the exceptional talents of our musicians. This concert will include unique pieces of music that may not normally appear in a standard concert season.
Funds raised at this event will make it possible for DeMatha students to participate in local and national music competitions, to receive music scholarships, and will support the DeMatha Instrumental Music program in many other ways.
Our thanks to all the individuals -- parents, alumni, friends of DeMatha Music, donors, advertisers, and members of our community of supporters -- for pledging your assistance to make the Kaleidoscope Concert a wonderful success.
There are many ways you can continue to help to make this event a success:
- ADVERTISE! - Place your own ad in the theater-bill program or solicit advertisements from local businesses. Just drop off copies of the attached sponsorship and advertising request when you stop by the dry cleaners, dine at your favorite restaurant, or head to the mall. While you support those businesses, ask them to support your school by placing an ad in the event program. Send your student a special message with a "message ad" in the program.
- SPONSOR! - It's as simple as writing a check. Send your tax-deductible donation along with a completed sponsorship form to the DeMatha Music office and we will include your name in the theater-bill program as an event sponsor. Sponsorships are available at multiple levels, to accommodate individual as well as large corporate donations.
- DONATE! - Donation of non-cash items are needed for raffle gift baskets or services in-kind.
- ATTEND! - Save the date and plan to join us on October 13th! Your ticket will get you into the concert as well as the pre-concert cocktail reception. Tickets can be purchased through the Stag Store/Events by credit card or send in your order to the Music Department with a check made out to DeMatha bands.

5 K Run / Walk - Saturday, November 16
Nearly one-half of the students enrolled at DeMatha will participate in this new fundraiser for the Music Program. Students will participate in this activity to help raise funds to sponsor the Music Program’s participation in a national competition. This run/walk will begin at the
Glenn Dale Community Center / Washington Baltimore & Annapolis Trail.
Each student is required to raise a minimum of $100, although they are encouraged to raise the entire cost for them to travel and participate in the competition. Competitions typically occur in cities such as Orlando, FL; Atlanta, GA; Myrtle Beach, SC; or Virginia Beach, VA. The average cost for each participant, including travel, is $500.
Pledge forms are available in the band office or by clicking on this link: 5K Run/Walk Pledge Form. Even if you don’t know a student who will participate in the 5K Run/Walk, you can make a donation.
