I did this fund-raiser at an elementary school choral concert, and it was a great success. We held a bake sale to raise money for the music department. All the baked goods were donated by the staff members of the school. The students have to be at the concert early to warm-up, and the parents want to get good seats, so we held the bake sale (run by staff members) before the concert. We closed it during the concert and then reopened it after the concert. This worked out well, as all my little performers had the munchies and their parents wanted to reward them with all kinds of goodies. We raised almost $200.00 with only 50 participating choir members.
