Greetings, Hamilton music families!

At our February 7th Board meeting, Hamilton's music directors shared their final plans for Music-a-thon, our annual fundraiser. See elsewhere in this newsletter for a report on Music-a-thon and link to view performances! 

Our next board meeting is on March 9th. Please email fomahihelp@gmail.com for Zoom link access if you'd like to attend.

What a night!

February's Music-a-thon featured FIVE HOURS of amazing performances. Thank you to the hundreds who attended over the course of the evening, and to all our student performers. We hope you had a chance to watch the show! 


All the performances, the program, and a recording of the livestream are available for your listening enjoyment. Visit this folder.


Thanks again for making this an incredible night!

Fundraising update

Music-a-thon raised nearly $19,000 for the Friends of Music at Hamilton International! It’s not too late to show your support. Just visit DONATE

Although FOMAHI isn't spending funds on field trips this year – and has waived annual dues – we are supporting individual private and small group coaching. Monies also help pay for instruments, instrument repair, sheet music, and supplies for the directors. 

Questions about giving? Please contact Emilee Murphey, FOMAHI Fundraising Chair, emileef@hotmail.com


Update Your FOMAHI Membership

Important! Have you updated your FOMAHI membership profile this school year? If not, please go to FOMAHI's website (https://fomahi.membershiptoolkit.com), log in and make sure your student's grade level and music class are correct for the 2020-21 school year. This will ensure you receive communications appropriate for your student's specific music class. 

Know a Hamilton International music family who isn't receiving FOMAHI emails? Please forward this newsletter to them and send them to FOMAHI's website to register. We can only send emails to families that have registered. Spread the word! Thank you for your help.

If you have left the music program and need to unsubscribe, please go to www.fomahi.membershiptoolkit.com and choose "Log In" or "My Account" to change your preferences and account status.
