The Band Boosters provide many opportunities for fundraising, both for personal student accounts and for the general booster fund. Students can earn and bank money to be used towards both the fall and spring trips as well as next year's expenses. The Band Boosters will be fundraising for various expenses such as uniforms, instrument repair, banquet, and more. All students are asked to participate in both a fall and a spring fundraising event to help the general booster fund. Additional fundraising opportunities will be added as they become available.
Fundraiser Types: Student Account, General, Inactive Fundraisers
