Sycamore Music Boosters is a volunteer organization composed of families and friends of students enrolled in music education classes in Sycamore Schools with the focus and goals to promote excellence in music education. Sycamore Music Boosters began years ago with a group of parents interested in supporting school bands. In 1972, the band booster club enlarged its interest to encompass all music programs and the then named “Antique Craft & Treasures Market” was born.

Incorporated in 1978 as a non-profit organization, the Sycamore Music Boosters continue to support school

music programs including funding for equipment purchases, field trips, music camp & college scholarships, High School/Middle School musicals, and numerous other music activities.

Currently over 600 students are enrolled in elective music programs in grades 4-12, as well as all elementary music programs. The primary source of funds for Sycamore Music Boosters is the annual Autumn Craft & Treasures Market. Thank you in advance to all our supporters, volunteers & patrons! For more information about the Sycamore Music Boosters, please visit: www. sycamoremusicboosters.com or follow them on Facebook and Twitter.
