Musical Raffle Prizes Needed
Cast and Crew families! We are looking for eight families who will purchase/assemble raffle prizes. Proceeds will go to musical and chorus at Emerson (last year we raised over $1200!).
Please use this link to sign up for a basket today (should take you to the “raffle basket” tab). Note that a group of Emerson Alumni (and their parents) have generously agreed to prepare two school raffle baskets, which we’ll use to raise awareness about the show. Thank you!
To sign up:
- Pick a theme (ideas start in row 15 if you are stuck). Put it in Column A.
- Decide what items you’ll order (see below for guidance on cost and items). Put that in Column B.
- Put your family name in Column C.
- Note: You may want to sign up for a basket on the day your child is performing. The cast (red or blue) for the show is in Column E for reference. Baskets are due at call time that day – we sell tickets BEFORE the show starts and read the winning number at the end of the show.
A few notes:
- Please make sure your basket is in a container and wrapped (see photo below). This makes it easier to market and transport.
- It usually works best to have an “anchor” item (something bigger that you put in the center) and 3-5 smaller items for visual appeal.
- If your basket includes a gift card, make sure it is visible and the amount is clearly indicated.
- Please make a tag with the name of your basket and the included items for easy display (be creative!).
- Generally, we raise $100-$150 a basket, so please don’t spend more than $50 on the items you include (i.e., $30 on items and a $20 gift card is a popular approach)
- Your purchase is a donation to the program; you won’t be reimbursed.
The All School Musical is a student chaired production.
Students lead and work all of the crews: Choreography, Costumes, Dance Captains, Hair & Make-up, Lights, Prop Construction, Publicity, Set Construction, Sound, and Stage.
All students who audition for the musical are cast!
Sign-Ups for auditions and the crews will be in the October newsletters.
Musical 2025 will be our 18th Musical!
