CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP

David W. Butler High School Band Corporate Sponsorship Program

The Butler Band program at David W. Butler High School, under the direction of Kira Gileza, has a long tradition of excellence. Since its inception in 1997, the award-winning Marching Bulldogs, for example, has built a consistent reputation for outstanding performances and success, competing alongside other prominent regional band programs in the Southeast. Practicing three days a week, raising spirit during Friday night football games, halftime shows, marching in local parades, and volunteering, makes our band members highly respected in school and within our community.

The Bands of Butler Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that assists in financially supporting the Bands of Butler Program. Because funds for public school arts programs are constantly being cut, this organization works to provide resources where necessary - for example, assistance with marching band camp, music, purchasing/maintaining instruments, uniforms, clinicians, registrations, travel, meals, and financial aid. The Butler Band Boosters Organization works in support of ALL Butler Bands (Marching Band/Wind Ensemble/Concert Band/Jazz/Percussion), the band director, the school and most importantly, the students.

So how can a school Music Program help your business?

We have put much thought into how our Marching Band/Music Program can work in tandem to assist your business. Our Corporate Sponsorship program has five main levels of participation - Friend of the Band, Major, Virtuoso, Maestro & Patreon. All levels are based on contribution amounts and on the Butler High School band season (August - April). These levels are a great way to advertise your business and 100% of your donation will go towards supporting the students of the Butler Band program. Please note, there is also a Feed the Band program which is very popular with our restaurant sponsors.

Please take a look at our options, and if you have any questions, contact us at butlerbandboostersboard@gmail.com.

Thank you for your consideration,
