The ability to burn DVDs and CDs on almost any computer, combined with easy-to-use recording and editing software, can turn any school into a music production company -- with the resulting CDs or DVDs making outstanding fundraising tools.
Bonus: If your school has old tapes of performances from years ago, a "Golden Oldies" CD or DVD might be a great seller too.
The idea is simple: Video or audio recordings of school music groups or public performances can be packaged to offered as premiums or products used in your fundraising efforts.
Final tips: Be sure to get the right clearances from participants and copyright holders before "selling" your fundraising performances. Also: Encourage art students to help design CD or DVD covers or jewel-box illustrations.
