Sign-up to Volunteer
Help make our Bingo Night a success! Please consider signing up for a slot [or two!] to volunteer your time. We made sure to break up the times so that there is still time for volunteers to play Bingo and join in the fun! Silent Auction and Raffle table volunteers are more than welcome to play Bingo at the table - you are generally only busy during breaks. We also need donations of paper plates and coolers. You can take coolers home that night. See sign up slots. CHS FOM Music: Friends of Music Bingo Night Volunteers

Concessions Coordinator Needed
We are currently looking for a Concessions Coordinator (or grab a friend to share the job). The Concessions Coordinator will oversee purchasing, set up on Bingo Night, and work with volunteers to help with sales. Our Bingo Coordinator will oversee donations and getting night of volunteers. We can provide you with a list of items to be purchased and what coordinator has done in past years, so it's a great way to jump into an established volunteer role. You will have as much guidance as you feel you need. Please contact Megan if interested or if you have any questions: [email protected]

The Centennial High School music program thrives on the dedication of our students, staff, and the generous support of families like yours. To continue offering enriching musical experiences, we rely on donations that help us provide high-quality instruments, equipment, and resources for our ensembles. Friends of Music has put together a  wish list of items that would significantly enhance our students' learning and performance opportunities. We invite you to consider donating towards one of these key needs. CHS Friends of Music is an approved 501(c)(3) charitable organization and all donations are tax deductible.

Instrument Upgrades & Repairs
Help us maintain our collection of instruments by contributing to much-needed repairs or purchasing upgraded instruments. High-quality, well-maintained instruments allow our students to sound their best and hone their skills.

Sheet Music & Licensing Fees
Each ensemble requires a diverse selection of music to learn and perform. Your donation will help us purchase new sheet music and cover the necessary licensing fees, ensuring our students have access to a wide repertoire.

Guest Artists & Clinicians
Bringing in professional musicians, guest conductors, and clinicians for workshops or masterclasses is an invaluable way for our students to learn from experts. Your donation will help us offer these enriching experiences.

Every dollar makes a difference in the lives of our students and the future of our music program. Please consider contributing to one of these wish list items today. Together, we can ensure that Centennial High School’s music program continues to inspire, educate, and flourish.

Show your support for the Centennial High School Music Department by grabbing some stylish and cozy spirit wear! Whether you’re a student, parent, or proud supporter, our hoodies, t-shirts, and PJ pants are the perfect way to represent your love for music and our talented ensembles.

​CHS Friends of Music has set up an online fundraiser with Double Good Popcorn to help students raise money for their student accounts. The fundraiser will go live next Tuesday, November 12th at 9am and run through Saturday, November 16th at 9am. Participation is optional, but 50% of all sales your student earns goes directly into their student accounts. These accounts - and the money in them - stay with your student as long as they are in the Music program and can be used for any trip the Music Department has, like Disney. We plan to do this fundraiser every year in order to help students earn money for Music Department trips!

1. Download the Double Good app [free]
2. Enter our event code QIHNBD in the app
3. Create your Pop-Up Store [takes about 1 minute to do]
4. Share your Pop-Up store with family, friends and neighbors via text, email, social media.
5. People anywhere across the US can order.
 
If you have any questions, please email Megan Benedict, FOM's fundraising chair, at [email protected]
