Fundraising Events
Our band takes part in several fundraisers throughout the year to help support our students and programs. From community events to band-hosted activities, there’s always something going on!
If you’re interested in getting involved or lending a hand, please check out the Parent Info Page for details on how you can help out.
March-a-thon
March-a-Thon is our biggest fundraiser of the year — and one of the most memorable days of the season! Students spend 8 hours (yes, on a Saturday!) running drills, perfecting their performance, and getting ready for competition season.
But it’s not all hard work — there are games, costume contests, dancing, and plenty of prizes to keep things lively. It’s a full day of music, marching, mayhem, and memories.
Stay tuned for more details as the event gets closer… you won’t want to miss it. It’s very serious (fun).
Fundraising Split: March-a-thon monies raised by students are split 50-50: half goes to the GJHS Band Parents nonprofit, which pays for all kinds of things throughout the band year. The other half goes to students' SBA accounts to cover their fees. If you have already fully paid your band fees in full (any band counts, not just marching band), and your student raised money at March-a-thon, then your fees account may have a credit. If you do not request a refund, the overage will go to the band account -- an extremely worthy cause.
