Why Sponsor
Why Sponsor
Invest in our Kids
Being in a band nurtures a student's love and appreciation of music, improves their creativity and physical abilities, allows them to achieve musical excellence, and helps them grow in confidence.
They gain essential life skills such as time management, organization, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving, which significantly boosts their academic potential.
By working together and contributing to the whole, they gain essential interpersonal skills, learn how to thrive as a team, and make lifelong friends.
Visibility
The band performs for over 25,000 spectators in Virginia, the Mid-Atlantic Region, and at national competitions. You’ll receive acknowledgement at as many as 40 events throughout the school year.
Our online presence reaches across our website and multiple social media accounts.
Community Appreciation: We love to support our sponsors!
Tax Advantages: The IHS Band Boosters is a 501(c)3 non-profit.

Attire and theme play key roles in competition scoring. Uniform tops can be quite expensive ($125 per top × 180 students). Your sponsorship allows us to invest in stylish and competitive attire to enhance our performances.
Pro Instruction
