Fundraising

Participation in fundraising by all band families is critical to the mission of the band program. Several fundraising opportunities are available to families each year to help contribute to the band program's general operating account.

​

Listed here will be opportunities to raise funds for the band. Monies raised for the band program go towards new instruments, repair of older equipment, new furniture (stands, chairs, etc...), eqiupment (mouthpieces, ligatures, etc...) and clinicans (these are private instructors who come in during the day to give one-on-one work with students), and up front costs for Field Trips and Fees. These are very important needs for a successful band program and are not able to be budgeted by the school. None of the funds raised, in any way, are turned over to the Band Director.

​

We hope that each member of the band will see the importance of keeping our band program strong through fundraising. There are many ways to help the band raise money, whether it be sales, volunteering with concessions, collecting BoxTops, or volunteering to help the fundraising committee. Any way you can or want to help is greatly appreciated and will help your band achieve its goals. We also welcome any new fundraising ideas from both students and parents.
