Music Drive 2025

The 70th SSMA Music Drive will be the morning of September 20, 2025

Parents/guardians of performing arts high school students can volunteer to drive using the form below

What is the Music Drive?

High School students from all music and theater groups (all bands, choirs, orchestras, plays, musicals, etc.) will walk throughout Shrewsbury selling $10 season tickets to the six school-year concert performances. This is a major fundraiser for Shrewsbury Public Schools performing arts programs. Mark the date in your calendar to save it! All high school performing arts students are expected to participate in this fun fundraiser run by the SSMA.

What are the season tickets?

Unlike the elementary and middle school concerts, admission is charged for high school concerts, and season tickets save family and friends money over multiple performances. In fact, most people coming to performances are there on a season ticket. And as an added benefit to the SSMA, it gives us a clear indicator of our year’s finances as early as September. The season tickets are for music concerts only, not for theater or musical theater performances. Nevertheless, the funds generated by the Music Drive helps both music and theater programs.

VOLUNTEER to Drive for the Drive!

Step 3. CORI check

If you volunteer, then your child will be assigned to your car (along with the classmates who sign up for your car). However, all adults volunteering in the public school MUST be CORI checked within the past three years. We are required by School Department, to verify CORI clearance for any volunteer working with students of the Shrewsbury Public Schools. Clearance lasts for 3 years, it’s free, and it’s valuable for every parent who may at sometime want to help out as volunteer for the schools’ performing arts programs and directors, with athletic groups, after school programs, field trips, or any of the many enriching programs sponsored by the Shrewsbury Public Schools.

Download the CORI form, and bring it to the School Department central office at Town Hall (100 Maple Ave). Please consider starting that process today as it will require a few weeks to complete the process with the state.

CORI form (required)

My CORI clearance is on file and current I will submit my CORI form to the school department as soon as possible

May we confirm your CORI clearance? (required)

Yes No

Finish

Please remember to reserve 8:30a–1:00p on Saturday September 20th in your calendar! If you have any questions please reach out to ssma@townisp.com.
