Tredyffrin Easttown Music Parents Organization
"TEMPO"
The purpose of the TEMPO is to aid the Music Directors of all the secondary schools in the Tredyffrin Easttown School District in the development of quality music activities. This is achieved through financial donations and volunteer activities.
TEMPO's primary fundraising activity is the concession stands at all home football games. Parents work together to manage the home and away concession stands with all revenue going to the organization.
Here are a few examples of TEMPO's contributions to the students and music programs:
Purchasing items for the music department that are not included in the school district's budget.
In 2025, TEMPO purchased a large flyover flag for the marching band
In 2026, TEMPO is purchasing a new trailer for the transportation of marching band equipment to away games and competitions
TEMPO sponsors several events throughout the school year that provide opportunities for middle school students to learn about options at the high school level:
Treble and Bass Days - middle school chorus students spend the morning at CHS learning songs, enjoying a snack and lunch provided by TEMPO. The day culminates with a concert in the afternoon.
8th Grade Meet and Greet - eighth grade students interested in the music opportunities at CHS spend the morning at the high school and enjoy a snack and lunch provided by TEMPO
TEMPO provides dinner to marching band members and staff on Parent Preview Night during band camp (the evening band debuts the field show for the parents)
Each year, TEMPO makes financial contributions toward the music trip thereby offsetting each attending student's out of pocket cost
Every spring, through an application and interview process, TEMPO provides graduating seniors the opportunity to earn scholarships and awards. Scholarships are for those planning to study music and awards are for those who intend to participate in music without majoring in a music field.
Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, to learn how to get involved, or suggestions.
