All band students will benefit from fundraising done by students and parents.  We have operating expenses and items that we purchase and donate to the band, in addition to the money needed for awards and the band banquet. 


For  those participating in the band trip, we have this  policy: 
In  order to keep record-keeping at a minimum, all fundraising money will go  into one "pot." When the fundraising is completed for the trip, the amount  raised will be evaluated to see how it will be divided. We will take a  percentage off the total (determined by how much is actually raised) to set  aside for the students who earned it by meeting the criteria for a "grant." The  balance is equally divided amongst ALL students participating in the trip who  earned the grant.

Criteria for the grant are as follows:  
  • Students who  participate in at least three (3) fundraisers from the list on the Trip Grant Fundraisers will be eligible for a grant . 
  • If the fundraiser  is merchandising, at least five (5) items must be sold for that particular fundraiser. 
  • If the fundraising is non-selling, such as a car wash, at least two (2) hours of time must be invested in that activity. 
Any combination of selling/non-selling fundraisers is acceptable. Grant amounts will be determined by fundraising profits as of two (2) weeks prior to the last payment date. All fundraising money is applied to the LAST payment for the band trip. 

Notification of the final payment amount will be announced at least one week prior to the due date.


In addition to raising money for the trip grant and  general fundraising there is also supplemental fundraising. . At times we may also run a 50/50 and sell refreshments at various concert events. This fundraising  goes towards general operating expenses and buying supplies for the band  students at different events.
