“Behind every great choir is a great Booster Club.”
Mozart may never have said that (although we like to think he did), however if he had it would have been spot on. While Mr. Baggett and the students are spending hundreds of hours working to perfect their music, an extensive and diverse group of parents, former students, and community members are working tirelessly to ensure that the musicians can focus on the music and only the music.
The Booster Club is composed of many individuals from all walks of life. Together, they form a tight network of publicists, photographers, cooks, business owners, and much more. It is their combined skills that keep the choir running smoothly. The Booster Club plans and organizes every non-musical aspect, such as ticket sales, facility rentals, food and publicity, of every event the Nevada Union Choir is involved. In addition, the Booster club is heavily involved in fundraising. Only a small percentage of the choir's annual budget comes from school funding, the rest, which includes such thing as sheet music and outfits, is paid for largely by the Booster Club. In addition, the Booster club grants scholarships every year to graduating seniors of the NU Choir Program who are continuing their choir education in college.
For the sake of order, four officers, a President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary, are elected by the Booster Club every year to help keep it running smoothly. However, these officers need the support of the choir family to do their job effectively. We want you to join us at our next meeting. Whether you are a parent, friend, or simply an interested community member, we can use your voice and your skill to make Nevada Union Choir the best it can possibly be. We meet on the first Monday of every month from 5:30-7:00 in the choir room. We look forward to seeing you there!
President - Nicole Van Vacas Gagnon
Vice President - Kimette Wood

Hi! My name's Rob Moen, and I am the treasurer for the NU Choir Boosters. I graduated from NU and spent all four years in choir (two in Chamber). Choir was one of the things that I loved most about high school! And that is why I decided to get involved again. I want to make sure the current choir kids have the same opportunities I had. Here's to a fabulous 2023 - 20243 school year! I'm looking forward to seeing lot's of fresh faces in our monthly booster meetings!
Secretary - Julie Moen
