PMA

The Parents Music Association was founded in 1974. The Norwood PMA has been a key component in the development and maintenance of the excellent music program in the Norwood Public Schools.  The PMA helps to provide funding and manpower that enables our performing groups to participate in State and National competitions.  PMA members serve as coordinators for music camp, providing students with week-long retreat in Maine for intensive preparation for coming season.  They maintain and facilitate the distribution of uniforms and equipment and chaperone each concert performance.  Each year, Norwood hosts major competitions for choral, jazz, and marching band groups attended by students from all over Massachusetts .  Fundraising by the PMA supports the music camp, helps to provide equipment and pays for adult chaperones when groups travel.  In addition, the PMA supports a major scholarship program to assist students from the music program as they continue their college educations.
