Cardiff SEA Music Boosters
Our Mission
On behalf of the Cardiff community, to keep instrumental music education available to our children.
We need YOU! We are actively recruiting volunteers to fill positions on our Music Booster Committee. If you are interested in getting involved, please email Ada Music Boosters.
The Cardiff SEA Music Boosters (Ada Harris Music Boosters) is a sub-committee of the Cardiff SEA. We are parent - volunteers working to support music education in the Cardiff School District by providing organizational support and fundraising efforts for the Ada Harris Wildcat Band. We need to fill committee positions and we need occasional volunteers! Please contact us or stop by if you want to check it out!
To Make Your Annual Participation (and/or School Instrument Loan) Donations, & Support the Program
Checks can be made out to the "Cardiff SEA Music Boosters" and left at the Ada Harris front office. Cash can also be left at the front office, provided it's in a sealed envelope with "Cardiff SEA Music Boosters" on the front, along with your musician's name and the purpose of the donation (annual, instrument loan, etc.). We also accept Venmo or Paypal donations, using the hyperlinks found here:
**Please note: Due to the added expense of transaction fees, our preferences are Cash, Check, or Venmo. Thank you! ***
Funding Sources
The Wildcat Band receives funding from the Cardiff School District, the City of Encinitas, and community fundraising events. Because this funding does not cover the total cost of the program, the band is heavily dependent on donations from participating band families. Family contributions account for up to 80% of our budget each year! The suggested donation per student is $400/year.
Scholarships are available. If you need financial assistance, please contact the Music Boosters.
Thank you to JIMBO's Carlsbad for supporting the 2025 Wildcat Band Monster Dash Bake Sale!
