Parents Advocating for the Performing Arts in Our Schools

Contact Our Board Members

Here's what we have accomplished:

• Replaced the condemned Fly System in the auditorium.

• Fund a new program, BMHS Alumni Co-op Theatre.

• Host an evening of music in a clean, safe environment:  Rock the Stage, 2006

• Replaced the obsolete VHF backstage wireless system with a new UHF Telex Radiocom System

• Replaced the make-up mirrors in the "green room", used by our students and rental groups such as the Miss Beloit and Marx Dance Accademy. 

With your contributions, we can tackle a number of important projects that will improve safety in the theater,

increase learning potential to bridging technology gaps, and make the performances more professional. 

Students who are exposed to the latest technology at the high school level enter college with an enormous advantage, whether they are planning to enter the field of Performing Arts or some other career.

Please keep these projects in mind as you consider donating to PAPAS, inc.

As you can see in the photos, exposed wires and extension cords on the old mirrors (left) were prone to short circuits and small fires.  The new mirrors (right) were installed professionally by Poff Electric, who donated their time and talent to the project.

Our long range goal is to set up an Endowment Fund that will allow Beloit Memorial High School to continue to enrich the lives of Beloit’s youth through their participation in Choir, Orchestra, Band and Theater Arts.

We all know how important the arts are for a well-rounded education and for the future of all our youth, as well as its use by the greater Beloit community, P.A.P.A.S. members invite everyone to contribute to the P.A.P.A.S. Fund.  Please help us improve our facility, start new performing arts programs, and establish an Endowment Fund to support the future needs of the Choir, Orchestra, Band and Theater Arts Departments.
