The Starkville-Mississippi State University Symphony Association Inc. is a nonprofit corporation. Each year, with the help of your contributions, the association sponsors orchestral and choral concerts that are free to the public.

Young people from Golden Triangle high schools, community volunteers and professional musicians from Starkville, Northeast Mississippi, and West Alabama make up the orchestra and chorus. The association also sponsors annually a free educational program for children in the Starkville area schools. This program offers children knowledge and encourages their appreciation of symphonic music, opera, dance and drama.

The association expresses appreciation for the past support of participants and members and invites both participation and contributions for the celebration of the 39th season.

Dear Friends of the Symphony Association:

The "Historical 39th Season" of the Starkville-MSU Symphony Association has just begun and we invite you to be a part of our musical season. Starkville is famous for so many things and music is certainly one of them. We believe we have the distinction as the smallest community in the United States that has been supporting a symphony orchestra for 39 consecutive years.

We strive to produce music of high quality and attractive concert presentations for your entertainment and education. Dr. Michael R. Brown, head of music education at MSU, will lead our orchestra. Mr. Ted Beverly, music director at First United Methodist Church, will lead the chorus. Also, Dr. Joe Ray Underwood, assisted by Ms. Ellen Boles, will coordinate the Programs for Children. With their leadership and our talented participants, you do not want to miss any of our concerts.

As a nonprofit corporation,
we need your financial support. With ample funding, we can continue to provide free concerts and programs to the public. Any amount is appreciated and all contributions are tax deductible.

It is important that you print the form above, fill it out and mail it and your contribution as soon as possible. All contributions should be made payable to either:

Starkville-MSU Symphony Association -or- MSU Foundation
P. O. Box 6149
Mississippi State, MS 39762-6149

Sincerely,

Doug Feig
President
