Friends
of the Maury Orchestra!
The Friends of the Maury Orchestra was founded in 2006. A 501©3
nonprofit organization, its mission is to involve members of the
larger Maury community in the life of Maury orchestras. Members
support the orchestras' activities through annual contributions
at different levels:
Conductor's Circle - $100
Orchestra Circle - $50
Friend - $35
We welcome both individuals and businesses to join us. Our
logo was chosen from a design competition won by Class of '08
cellist Andrew Gaubatz, and adorns bumper stickers and t-shirts
given to FOMO members. Initially, FOMO helped to fund orchestra
supplies and activities, but has evolved to become a scholarship
program for orchestra students. In 2008 the Friends awarded
their first scholarships to two graduating seniors. Criteria
for the scholarships include current membership in the Maury
orchestra, a minimum GPA of 3.0 and a commitment to continuing
their music education. The Friends want to recognize and reward
the hard work of orchestra students. Not only their beautiful
music, but their self discipline developed through constant
practice make a positive impact on Maury High School and the
larger community.
