Buy the Vote Fundraising Gala

Not-So-Fair Election? You Bet!In this musical battle, fairness takes a backseat to fundraising. Conductors can start the game with votes they’ve already purchased in advance, meaning some may step onto the podium with a major head start! And for those looking to shake up the competition, there’s even an option to sabotage—$5 will take a vote away from another conductor! It’s all in good fun and for a fantastic cause.

Why Does Half Moon Orchestra Need Your Support?

Half Moon Orchestra is dedicated to making live orchestral music accessible to everyone in the community, offering inclusive accommodations and family-friendly performances. This fundraiser is particularly focused on raising $10,000 for much-needed percussion equipment, ensuring the orchestra can continue to provide high-quality performances without the burden of renting instruments. Every dollar raised helps Half Moon Orchestra sustain its mission of musical inclusivity and excellence.

How Can You Participate?

Your $100 ticket grants you entry to the event, a delicious dinner, and the chance to witness this hilarious and lively competition unfold. Once the conducting begins, it's time to cast your votes—$10 per vote to support your favorite, or $5 to sabotage a competitor!
