Tipton High School’s Fine Arts Council is a support group seeking to further the activities and growth of the fine arts, to encourage public interest in the activities in these areas, to provide funds that connot be met by the school district for attendance and transportation for approved trips, and to finance and assist in the purchase of clothing, uniforms and equipment.

The Council has covered the cost of sending students to music camps and drama conferences, for speech and drama recognition, and for art trips. A long-term endeavor was the purchase of new band uniforms and choir robes. The Council also provides the “Music Note” and “T” yard signs for students in Fine Arts.

Larger projects have included coordinating the Fine Arts trip to New York City in 2007 and the Fine Arts trip to Boston in 2011.

During the year, the Council provides refreshments at fine arts concerts/shows and the spring music banquet; coordinates a food stand for the District Speech Contest and State Large Group Music Contest; helps with the drama and speech banquet; helps with the fitting of uniforms/robes; takes tickets at drama productions; , and other activities that support the fine arts.

Fundraising includes a frozen foods sale in the fall and in the spring, and other endeavors as presented to the group.  Contact a Fine Arts Student or council member to purchase items.  The Fall Sale begins October 6, 2011.

The Fine Arts Council consists of the parents of all members of the high school Art Club,Band, Choir, Dance, Drama, Speech and Thespians. Funding for the Fine Arts Council comes as parents, grandparents, extended family members, and community members become Patrons of the Arts.  Various levels of donations will provide recognition of donation on all programs printed for Fine Arts events.  Concession stands at Fine Arts also generate funds for the Fine Arts Council.  Volunteers are greatly appreciated for assistance with ticket taking, concession stands, and general needs for Fine Arts events.  If you are interested in volunteering for the Fine Arts, please contact Shelly Mohr at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
