Coat Check and Gift Wrap Services to Benefit the MPSMA

Support music in the Marlborough public schools by checking your coat and having your holiday purchases expertly gift-wrapped. The experienced and talented gift wrappers will decorate your holiday purchases with Paradise City's signature ribbons, bows and glossy paper. And you can also check that bulky winter coat and packages while you visit the show!

Since 1998, the enthusiastic volunteers from the Marlborough Public Schools Music Association have been operating a coat and package check, as well this show's holiday gift wrap station, to provide students with music scholarships, programs and cultural activities. All donations are voluntary, and 100% of the proceeds put music in Marlborough's public schools.

The Marlborough Public Schools (MPS) Music Association is a totally non-profit organization formed specifically to support all music students in the Marlborough school system with an emphasis on the higher grades. Their financial assistance includes vocal and dance groups as well as instrumental. The members are the parents of the music students, the students themselves, the music teachers and many involved community members.

This volunteer organization provides revenue that:

• Enables the Association to present annual scholarships to graduating seniors who will be continuing their education in the music field
• Provides a variety of student functions (such as an Awards Banquet) throughout the year
• Supports student music programs and activities
• Sends students to cultural performances and on performing trips, including competitive performances

In addition, the Association works with the Music Department Coordinator and music teachers to provide assistance in acquiring items not funded in the school's budget, provides chaperones necessary on buses, parades and cultural activities and provides extra services to help concerts run efficiently.

Over the years, the Association has raised thousands of dollars for the music program, purchasing many new items (such as sound equipment, acoustical panels), providing performance dress for concerts and competitions, and repairing older or damaged instruments.

Paradise City is proud to support the Marlborough Public Schools Music Association, and we hope that you feel the same way. Thank you for your generous support!
