MusicCounts! is a non-profit organization comprised entirely of volunteers. It's a small group that has a big impact - raising then deciding how ~$20,000 is spent each year for performing arts! Whether you have a student in the Canton Public Schools or not, we'd love to have you to join us! |
W H A T
We plan and run Cantonstock, a fun one-day music festival in early November that features all music groups from all the Canton Public Schools. It has raffles, silent auction, games, concessions, a fabulous program book and more! This is our only major fundraiser. |

During the school year!

Very simply, our team raises money to fund requests from the Canton Public Schools Performing Arts Department that we review and vote on at our meetings each month. We want to make sure the dollars we allocate benefit as many students as possible, cover a wide range of needs, and all schools are represented.
For full transparency, the graphs below show what we have approved for spending for the past 3 years!
