Musically inclined West Salem High School students will be knocking on doors Saturday to raise money for the school’s music programs.
The annual Music Day was canceled in 2020 due to Covid, but returns Sept. 11, with students knocking on doors from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. seeking donations. Cans and bottles are also accepted.
The fundraiser is the largest of the year for the Titans’ band, choir and orchestra programs, said Kenda Peterson, the coordinator for Music Day.
Funds help pay for transportation, festival entrance fees, music supplies and professional clinicians.
If you won’t be home Saturday but want to support the program, you can leave an envelope with your donation on your doorstep clearly marked Music Day; mail a check made out to WSBB – Music Day to West Salem Band Boosters, 1776 Titan Ave NW, Salem, OR 97304; or donate through PayPal to [email protected].
