The Ideal Start to Our 2025 Marching Season
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Seifert's classroom raised $3,995
This project is fully funded
My Project
The Band is a premier performance group representing my school in Houston, Texas. We are a Title 1 school in a district facing a $600M shortfall this past year. Our students and parents work hard on fundraisers and pay specific fees to the program, but that can only go so far.
We're reaching out to see if some of our needs for the upcoming marching season can be met before we purchase items using our regular budget. These items are common to our work and often need to be renewed annually or may have suffered long-term damage we can't repair.
Your assistance to the band could go a long way to improve student performance and achievement this next fall. Please support our band and Go Texans!
