Why We Raise Funds
Crestwood Bands and Band Boosters will have many fundraisers throughout the year. Often we're asked why we try to raise funds or what the money will purchase. Students pay a class fee to participate in the Band program through the school, those funds and the district's financial support are used to purchase the majority of our band’s needs. Specifically, they are used to maintain and purchase equipment, bus students to football games, competitions, parades, and concerts, purchase music, band supplies, workbooks, electronic equipment, classroom supplies, colorguard equipment, awards, entrance fees, and uniforms.
There are many other aspects of running a band program that those funds cannot fully cover. Building the large props for the marching band competition show each year, dry cleaning the marching and concert band uniforms, purchasing t-shirts for students, buying additional music, color guard costumes and flags when needed, providing snacks or meals for students on performance days and special events, buying meaningful equipment that will last a long time, hosting the band banquet- the list is long! The funds we raise directly impact the band program, as well as the students, everyday. These funds are essential for having a successful competition marching and concert band, so every dollar helps.
We appreciate the support of our family, friends, and community with our fundraisers and the band. We are proud to carry on the tradition of the Crestwood Band Program and your financial contributions are instrumental to our success.
