The community provides vital financial support needed to help the band program and its students thrive. Sponsorships partially fund scholarships for students in need, our fall marching band production, workshops with renowned clinicians, and performances at local venues with professional musicians. As a sponsor, businesses and other community members gain enhanced visibility, exposure, and access to new audiences.
Your support provides an equitable experience for ALL students in the band program regardless of financial status.
