Concert band fundraising possibilities
Instruments and instruction your ensemble can use.
- Annual funding example
- $13,65021 participants × $650 per year
Repair the instruments you own, add the ones students need, or bring in a clinician before assessment.
Buy instruments and repair the ones you own.
Add instruments as enrollment grows, repair usable inventory, and replace instruments that can no longer be repaired. Start with the specific instruments your students need.
Bring in a guest clinician.
Pay for a clinician to work on section technique, ensemble balance, or preparation for assessment. Connect the visit to what students are rehearsing.
Cover festival registration and travel.
Fund registration, buses, and meals for the ensemble. Include lodging when needed, and identify the performance, workshop, or guest-conductor opportunity the trip provides.
Give your supporters the full picture.
- Name the instruments or instruction you need and get current quotes.
- Identify which ensemble will benefit and what the school or boosters already cover.
- Work backward from repair, clinician, registration, and travel payment deadlines.
