Dear Band Supporter:

The Grants Pass High School Band Program is an outstanding organization which builds character, promotes self-esteem and teaches discipline and responsibility. The Grants Pass High School Band Boosters support these students by underwriting much of the costs of their programs. To achieve this goal, we are hosting our annual Grants Pass Jazz Fest on Saturday, February 18th at the Grants Pass High School Performing Arts Center. 

Our goal for this event is to bring our community together with great music and to raise funds for our students’ music programs. To do this, we need your help. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation of goods to be used at this event. Your support of our program will be recognized within our community advertising campaign. We are in need of items for our silent auction. We are also in need of store credit and/or gift cards to purchase food for the dinner and dessert portion of our evening. 

We are happy to pick up the item of donation (local) and appreciate your support of our program and our kids. Every donation makes a difference in allowing us to fulfill our program’s needs. This year we were 165 strong for the Marching band season . The amount of practice , sweat and tears this  group put into the season led them to placing First place at the state championships this past November  . It was truly humbling to watch . As we wrapped up the Marching band were headed on to planning for the 2023 year . A year filled with jazz concerts. For Jazz  we are excited to announce that our jazz program is growing and not only will we be hosting Jazz fest this year but we will be traveling and playing around southern Oregon ., We are looking forward to our other main event which is PNW which is held at GPHS on the football field in October.. 

Thank you in advance for your prompt and serious consideration of our request, and extra thanks if you have donated in the past. We know that businesses receive many requests for help and sponsorship by many community organizations and we greatly appreciate your support of our students. Remember that your donations are tax deductible. 

Thank you for your support!
