The Northwood Marching Band funding comes exclusively from fundraising, sponsorships, and parent contributions and therefore we rely on your generous donations to help keep the Northwood marching band competitive. The county contributes $0 towards the Marching Band.
Our goal this year is $75,000 which is approximately $1,250/family. The funds raised through the band contributions campaign go towards the purchase of the drill, uniforms, transportation, music, food, competitions, instruments, equipment, trailers etc. Last year our costs were ~$65,000.
We ask that families donate $500 per student in the marching band. We understand that this may be a financial strain on some families and only ask that you donate what you reasonably can. We appreciate and understand that life happens. You can also share the donation link with family and friends. Every donation is a tax write-off and will benefit these talented musicians.
Funds raised are used for the following:
Marching Band Uniforms
Instrument repair/replacements
Color Guard flags, props and uniforms
Specific large instruments
Trailers, buses and transportation
Competition Registration Fees
Drum Major Camp
Show Music composition
Choreography for band and color guard
