GIVE

SPONSOR A BANDLING

Although a limited amount of items, music and instruments can be purchased and repaired with district money, there is simply no way around running a 325+ member band program without an immense alternative source of funding. Therefore, every band student is asked to contribute a financial equivalent to their ensemble/class rigor. Although fundraising opportunities occur throughout the school year, many families struggle to meet the time and financial obligations. The cost of each per-student donation is:

$75 Beginning Band + $150 Concert Band + $220 Symphonic Band/Winds + $350 Wind Ensemble + $100 Color Guard

All donations for this campaign are tax deductible & a receipt will be emailed upon donation!

AMAZON CLASSROOM WISH LIST

Together, the two band directors have combed the internet for the best items and prices that will help provide the necessary learning tools, equipment, advocacy and resources in order to make this year the BEST so far for our Kanapaha Bandlings!! Please consider the purchase of one or more of the following items from our Classroom Amazon wish list as we aim to provide the best experience possible for our students for this school year!

SPONSOR A PIECE OF MUSIC AT A CONCERT

Did you know that every piece of music performed by the Kanapaha Band costs around $75??

At a concert featuring 3 bands, with four selections each, our band pays $900 just for the opportunity to perform!

Here's where you come in! You can help offset the costs of individual pieces of music for whichever band you want by sponsoring one (or more) of the selections at each concert throughout the school year. This sponsorship also includes your printed name (unless you request to be annonymous) in the digital concert program if our concert is hosted on our campus at KMS.

SPRING TRIP SPONSOR

Each year the Kanapaha Band takes our most advanced students on the road to watch and participate in live concert experiences with major symphony orchestras on the east coast of the US in order to extend the learning and performance opportunities from inside to outside of the classroom. Our students work very hard to prepare for these events and to raise money for these special opportunities. We are therefore, looking for sponsors who may be willing to help offset the cost of the Symphony tickets, or the trip t-shirts, or to help provide a meal for the kids while they are traveling. A donation to help offset the student cost for this trip would be a huge discount to the students & families for the trip!!!

IN ORDER TO CALCULATE THE FINAL COST OF THE TRIP, THIS SPONSOR SHOULD BE IN PLACE BEFORE OCTOBER 1, 2025.

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN DONATION

Many Hands Make Light Work!

With the combined support of our Administration and Booster Team, we have established a capital campaign to raise funds for new instruments and equipment to ensure the continued success and growth of the KMS Band Program. This funding is necessary for us to provide high quality functioning equipment so that our students can succeed in every academic and performance task that is being asked of them. We have over 30 instruments that are beyond their functional use and have been with the program for daily use for over 20+ years and need to be replaced! Two years ago, we had 125 students in band, now, with over 325, we simply cannot keep up with the extreme growth without your help. The cost of this campaign is $20,000. No donation is too small to help us reach our goal!
