Cougar Marching Band: Uniform Hat Drive

My students need marching band uniforms and other equipment to participate in the annual Memorial Day Parade.

My Students

Our Intermediate School Band is made up of 250 talented, excited, dedicated, hardworking, and well-deserving fifth and sixth grade musicians. Many of our band families struggle to support the cost of instrumental rentals. Larger marching and concert instruments often cannot be rented and must be provided by the school/district. Please help us to provide the equipment that our students need and deserve to be successful. Any donation is truly appreciated, no amount is too small, and every little bit helps!

My Project

Due to the incredible growth of our Intermediate School Band, we are in need of additional marching and concert instruments and uniforms. We currently have 250 students (almost 40% of the school) participating in band. This is well above the national average of 10%.

Our goal is to have our entire Intermediate School Band perform in our town’s Memorial Day Parade this year.

These hats will be part of their marching uniform for this performance.

We are very excited about the potential this holds for our instrumental music department district wide. Please help us to support these wonderful, amazing, talented, dedicated, hard working youngsters along in their music education and help us to encourage them to continue participating in band throughout middle school and high school. Thank you in advance for your support! It is truly appreciated!
