Why does the band really need fundraising? Doesn’t the school provide a budget for the program?
As with any organization, there are many things that enhance the GP band program which are not provided for within the yearly school budget. Therefore, fundraising is conducted by the Band Booster Club, which directly or indirectly benefits the individual student. This is especially true during a spring trip year, when several hundred dollars per student must be raised for participation. But booster fundraisers also go towards upgrades for our kids, such as charter buses for lengthy rides to competitions, etc. We appreciate your support, and so does the Band!!
