Our marching band students are a group of highly motivated and dedicated students who share a love of music. There are 100 students that comprise the band that must work together to pull together a complex show in a short timeframe. Having the appropriate equipment is key. The students participate in numerous fundraisers throughout the year to raise the money for their program and the fees for their participation. Given the current economy, 40% of our students are at or below the poverty level which puts an additional strain on the music program. The students take very good care of their equipment and make it last as long as possible. At some point, items have to be replaced and they are expensive.
