Our Orange & Blue BBQ and Silent Auction is our biggest fundraising function. We rely on donations to support our awesome band and terrific kids. Our school funding has been reduced by over one-third for our entire band due to economy and budgets. Our Marching Band is exclusively funded by our non-profit booster club. This fundraiser pays for uniform needs, instruments and repairs, music, additional music teachers, props and travel for our group to remain able to compete and perform at all venues including our home football games and local and state competitions. In addition, many of our instruments are 30 years old and needing frequent repairs. The ability to replace would be the best. Our kids work hard to perform to their utmost ability and typically place in the top 5 at competitions.  Their work deserves them the same advantage as other local high school bands.
