Adams Parents For Instrumental Music (APFIM)
APFIM (Adams Parents for Instrumental Music) is a volunteer booster organization whose primary goal is to provide additional support to the Rochester Adams Bands Programs by volunteering time and providing funding. This support enables the bands director and the students to focus more on their musical education, performances and competitions.
Through APFIM, parents can be directly involved in their child's music education experience. It is also a great way to meet and make friends with other parents in the community who share this important, common interest; our children's musical education. As an APFIM member, you will help ensure the bands activities are well supported in all senses of the word.
APFIM strives to enhance our children's musical experiences and provide them with opportunities to forge their own friendships, bonds and positive, shared memories. It is easy to imagine, decades from now, our children reminiscing with each other at their 20th, 30th or 40th reunions about the times they are now spending together.

In the Quick Info section below, you will find a list of all APFIM Committee Coordinators. Look through this list and find activities you are interested in helping with. Call the Committee Coordinator and find out more. THEN...step up and volunteer for something. There is a lot to be done, but many hands make light work. Even one hour of your time spent at a band event helps APFIM (all of us) accomplish that something extra we want for our young musicians.
You can also contact Sheryl Atesoglu at 248-230-4218 to volunteer to be one of the Committee Coordinators.
