Dear Friends of Clover High School Choraliers,

You’re invited to reserve the best available seats now for the Clover High School Choraliers Holiday Concert (December 11, 13, or 14, 2014) and the Spring Concert (April 30, May 2, or 3, 2015) by becoming a Choral Booster Club member. The deadline for joining the Booster Club is September 8, 2014.

As you may know, Choraliers’ events have become increasingly popular. Every seat in Clover School District Auditorium is a good one, but there are only a certain number available.

Many past performances have been nearly sold out. But with reserved seats that are part of your membership, you’ll be sure to have a seat to hear this championship ensemble this year.

Reserving your seats is simple. Just join the Choral Booster Club. When we receive your 2014-2015 Membership Application by the deadline, September 8, 2014, you will receive the best available seats at the time that your application is received by the Membership Committee. And next year, you’ll get advance notice to renew your seats for the 2015-2016 Choraliers’ season before the school year even begins – so you’ll always have a place in the house to hear South Carolina’s 10-time state choral champions.

Plus, by being a part of the Choral Booster Club, you’ll help provide these hardworking students with voice lessons, uniforms, festivals, and competitions … all kinds of special opportunities that go into making the Choraliers a first-class experience for our dedicated teenagers.

Please take a minute right now to fill out the enclosed form and select your membership level. Drop your application form in the mail to us with your check, and we’ll get your tickets back in the mail to you by early November.

Remember, the Choral Booster Club is a 501C3 eligible (charitable) program. Please check with your employer regarding matching funds and enhance your contribution to the Choralier program.

Over the years, enthusiastic community partners like you have allowed thousands of students to be a part of the Clover choral arts program, giving our young people unforgettable musical experiences that have shaped their lives. We invite you to invest in that tradition of excellence for our students this year. Please send in your Membership Application today. Reservations are made in the order that they are received. And thank you so much for your support!

Yours in music,

Choral Booster Club Membership Committee

CHORAL BOOSTER CLUB MEMBERSHIP Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why do you offer reserved seats to Choral Booster Club members? Members have told us that advance reservations for Choraliers concerts are one of the most-valued benefits of membership.

May I choose my seat location? You will receive the same tickets as last year unless you increase your membership level or you request a seat or concert day change on your membership form. If you request a seating/concert day change, you will receive the best available seats at the time you submit your Membership Application. New seat assignments are made in the order applications are received.

I have physical limitations. Can you help arrange special seating? Absolutely. Check the appropriate box on your application form and add any additional information we should know. We’ll ensure that you have access to fit your needs.
