We Reached Our Goal!
Thanks to everyone who has donated, we have reached our initial goal of $3,000!
With this, we have decided to extend the time frame for our project and see if we can raise $5,000 to benefit the Marching Band! To everyone who has donated already, we want to thank you so much for your continued support of the Marching Band. We wouldn't be able to do what we love without your assistance.
With our new fundraising goal, we need as much help as possible to reach it! Continue sharing our project with your friends and family and help us to continue sharing what we love with all of you.
Band Camp is over!
Good afternoon everyone!
As of yesterday, Band Camp 2018 is complete for the Chargers Marching Band! We have put so much work into this show so far and we can't wait to continue working on it and improving as the season goes on.
Thanks to everyone who has donated so far, but we are still quite a ways from our primary goal. This season we have a lot of expenses that need to be covered so please continue to share and donate!
We can't wait to bring the Power of Love to life for everyone to see!
$5

$25
Medical Supplies
With over 270 members, we run through medical supplies very quickly. Medical supplies ranging from band-aids, ice packs, gauze, tape, aloe, alcohol wipes and sport wraps are included in our medical kit. Replacing these supplies as they are needed can become costly, and a donation of this amount can ensure that our medical kit is always fully stocked.
$50
Feed the Band
A donation of this amount can help sponsor food and water for our members.
$100
Fuel the Love
In order to transport all of our instruments and equipment to our numerous performance sites, we use two U-Haul trucks. These trucks need gas to travel from place to place. A donation of this amount can help us ensure that all of our equipment and instruments make it to where they need to go!
$250
Sponsor an Instrument
With all of the instruments that we have for our students, some of them have garnered a little wear and tear over the years. In order to ensure that our students have the best possible instruments that they can, necessary tune ups are needed. These tune ups can be costly, and a donation of this amount can help to maintain the instruments that we have.
$500
Sponsor an Away Trip
This year we will be participating in an overnight trip to Allentown, Pennsylvania, in order for us to perform at the Collegiate Marching Band Festival. This festival showcases 20 collegiate marching bands every year! This performance is a favorite for our members because we have the chance to see other collegiate marching bands and perform for over 6,000 spectators. A donation of this amount can help us to cover food costs, as well as the cost to stay overnight as a band.
$1,000
Bus a Band
A donation of this amount will help to sponsor one of the many buses that we will be needing to transport us to our shows across the region. This year we will be performing in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and New Jersey, as well as numerous shows in Connecticut. With a band of our size, multiple buses are necessary to allow us the chance to perform at all of these shows. A donation of this amount will allow us to continue to show audiences our POWER OF LOVE for band!
