Fundraising
An important part of the band boosters is supporting the band program finances and develop a budget. We hold several different fundraisers throughout the year to support the band program and help keep our dues low.
One of our biggest fundraisers is the band concession stand at home football games. Make sure to take a short stroll over towards the visitor stands and purchase tasty treats from our parent volunteers. We have burgers, hot dogs, chicken tenders, french fries, a variety of drinks, candy, funnel cake, fried Oreos and even root beer floats to name a few thing.
We are always looking for friendly faces to help out with the concession stand, so that we can serve our patrons quickly. Also it is nice to rotate volunteers so all parents can help support the band and see their students perform.
Every year we have a handful of fundraisers planned such as:
- Fall and Spring Mulch Drives
- Spirit Nights – Tijuana Flats, Dick’s Wings, Panera
- Music Performances – ACE Hardware, Del Webb Walk
- Local Merchant Gift Card raffles
- Battle of the Bands NHS Duck vs PVHS Shark Race
- It’s Marching Band Season and Band Dri-fit T-shirt Sales
- shopraise.com
- Football Game Squares
- Lottery Ticket Raffle Basket
- Zumbathon
We need all band booster members to participate in the fundraisers to make them a success. Please check out our upcoming fundraisers and support your band students!
