The Quarter Note Club (QNC) is the parent booster organization that supports the Garnet Valley High School Band and Music Department. QNC volunteers play an essential role in helping students have outstanding musical experiences through event support, logistics, fundraising, and countless behind-the-scenes efforts.
All GVHS Band parents are automatically part of the Quarter Note Club. There is no membership fee, and every parent is invited to volunteer in whatever way fits their time and interests. Whether you can help occasionally or take on a larger role, your support makes a difference.
