The Fort Mill High School Choral Boosters are a nonprofit 501-3(c) organization started by parents in 2003 to support chorus teacher/director Michael Dove.  All donations are tax deductible.

The FMHS website is http://fmhs.fort-mill.k12.sc.us/home.aspx. Click on the Faculty/Staff link and add Dove to get to Mr. Dove’s webpage, where you then click on the Concert Chorus link.

FMHS Choral Booster’s Mission

• to raise money for the FMHS chorus and Broadway musical programs
• to supply these programs with volunteers needed to run them
• to relieve Director Michael Dove of logistical duties so he can concentrate on the musical and creative aspects of the concerts/Broadway productions

Reasons for fundraising

• Chorus students must pay for concert clothing.
• Broadway show cast members must pay costume rental fees (~$100).
• The general choral department must pay for competition fees, backdrops, microphones, music, body mics, All-State tryouts, royalties, stage props, sound/lighting, posters, soundboards, and more.
• Chorus students who want to go on the annual chorus Spring Break concert tour/trip must pay for it. The most common trips are to Hollywood, Hawaii, New York, and somewhere in Europe. A cheesecake fundraiser begins shortly after school starts.

Our Broadway shows are a gift to the community and involve high school students (as well as sometimes middle and elementary school students). Funds we earn are churned back into the program to use for the next Broadway show.
