Dear Hamilton Music Families:

We hope your student’s musical year is off to a great start! FOMAHI is here to make it even better—with concerts, festivals, trips, and the support our directors need to help every student shine.

For those new to us, Friends of Music at Hamilton International (FOMAHI) is the nonprofit booster group for Hamilton’s bands, choirs, and orchestras. We keep families informed, organize volunteers, fund scholarships and supplies, and make sure every student can fully participate in the music program.

We are welcoming the following volunteers to the board!

• Orchestra Co-President: Rachel Teigen Brackett
• Fundraising Co-Chair:Ali Friedman
• Recording Secretary:Kate MacKenzie

joining the rest of us: 

• Band Co-President: Bridget Schuster
• Choir Co-Presidents: Jema Turk; Simon Weiss
• Treasurer: Jen Jerome
• Fundraising co-chair: Mary Schoen
• Website: Derek Denny-Brown
• Communication: Tara Mardan

A few board positions are open!

Want to learn more? Come chat with us at the Parent Social Night, join us at the board meetings, or email us anytime at fomahihelp@gmail.com.

FOMAHI keeps Hamilton’s music program thriving through events like the Music-a-thon, Dine Out Nights, and concert bake sales. 

This year, we’re asking families to consider a voluntary $40 enrichment fee to help fund programs until our big fundraiser in February 2025.

If you can contribute, please do so after creating or updating your FOMAHI account. Already contributed? Thank you! 💛
