» About Quarter Note Club

The Quarter Note Club was established in 1999 as a parent's organization to support the development of the Garnet Valley High School Band Programs. The Club provides assistance in the following ways:

  • Promotes student band leadership by providing monetary support for band students who attend the West Chester University Leadership or Drum Major Camps
  • Provides essential adult support for various activities including chaperones at football games and competitions, assistance with equipment and uniforms, and organizing band camp special events
  • Organizes fundraising activities in which students are able to earn money for their student accounts to help defray costs of band field trips and special events
  • Provides financial assistance to the band toward the purchase of additional instruments or other special purchases as needed
  • Sponsors the GVHS Jazz Fest where jazz musicians from neighboring middle and high schools play and compete in an adjudicated event
  • Sponsors annual scholarships for graduating seniors

Funds for the Quarter Note Club sponsored activities are raised in the following ways:

  • Annual dues, $40 per student band member (including $15 for end of season band uniform cleaning)and $70 (including $30 for end of season band uniform cleaning) for two or more student band members
  • Selling 50/50 raffle at home football games (with the Fifth Quarter Club - Football Boosters)
  • Selling seat cushions at home football games
  • Selling Corby's Pizza and Cookie Dough (in conjunction with the GVMS Band and GVHS Chorus Boosters)
  • Annual car wash
  • Soliciting Sponsorships for the Jazz Fest
  • Proceeds from the Online Shop and participation in affiliate programs with various merchants on our Shopping Page

As a volunteer organization, we need help from parents for many activities.

Please help us support our children in the Band by generously donating your time and supporting the fundraising activities.
