We have been selected to volunteer at the Space Half and Full Marathon this year and will receive a donation to our band program! You can help by either signing up to volunteer or participating in the event. The bigger the race the bigger the support! This year they offer the option of a marathon relay, so while the half marathon is sold out - there are still slots available in the relay! Hope to see you either on the race course or on the sidelines cheering on the runners!

Did you know that our band membership is over 100 students? Your fundraising committee is hard at work planning several exciting projects to keep up with the very real needs of an ever expanding Marching Mustangs. It will require the efforts of our entire “band family” to insure that each of these musicians has music, instruments, uniforms, etc., and we encourage you to stay informed as our menu of fundraising opportunities takes shape to choose the ways that you could best serve. Projects such as these are an integral part of band life, and many hands make for light work!
