Friends of Whitman Music (FOWM) is a parent led group that supports the Whitman Music program. We focus on fundraising and supporting our music directors through program and event coordination. From our award winning honors society Tri-M (winner of the 2026 WA state chapter of the year) to choir, to jazz band, to our award winning concert level bands and orchestra the Whitman Music program consistently provides high level musical education to any and all students! These accomplishments do not happen by accident, they are a direct result of support from the Whitman families, administration, and staff.&nbsp; The music program at Whitman is only partially funded by the Seattle School district. In order to improve and maintain the quality of this program FOWM asks for a donation to support our music programs.&nbsp;The Whitman music programs could not run without this funding!
