Fundraisers
Events that allow students to raise funds to cover the cost of band expenses

Last updated Friday, April 24, 2009

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 AccountGeneral,  Inactive Fundraisers

If you have any ideas for fundraisers or would like to assist, please contact either of the co-vice presidents.

Administrative assistants, better known as the "band moms" or "band parents", are available to accept payments and distribute sales materials Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 6:10 am through 7:30 am and before football games.  On two-hour delay days, band moms will not be available.  The band moms are Laura Mortimer, Susan Bodette, and Cyndi Payne.
