The Latest Notes
Band Fundraiser Starts TODAY and goes through April 9 Order Forms and Money Due on April 9th! Make checks out to Farwell Band Boosters! As you already know, this has been a very strange year. Covid has affected all of us in so many different ways! One way it has affected the Band program is Band Boosters has not been able to sell concessions during volleyball and basketball season this year. Plus we were not able to hold our annual Cabin Fever Variety Show. This means our fundraising funds are low this year! As we look into next year we are anticipating a much more normal year with normal expenses! So we are today kicking off a fundraiser to help with the expenses coming up this next school year for the band program! Where does our fundraising money go? Student Used Instruments - Last year we replaced our ancient, worn out timpani. The students are making great use of the New Timpani! Every grade is using them and they sound amazing! We have many students who have some very nice beginning and intermediate instruments in their hands thanks to fundraising efforts through the years! We are continually working to maintain, replace and update school instruments as they wear out. Band Uniforms - Thanks to fundraising efforts we have Middle School Band Polos and High School Marching/Concert Uniforms that our students wear for concerts. Scholarships - Students are often given scholarships to attend Summer Band Camps and we also support our Band Seniors by giving a small scholarship to help them as they head off to college in the fall. Instructors - Without fundraising we would not be able to pay for additional instructors for woodwind/brass/percussion/Color Guard! We also need a camp health officer every year through Marching Band Season!
