Recommended Band Donation FAQ

Why is the band program making a recommended donation request?

To ensure the success and growth of our band program, we kindly request parent or guardian support through a recommended donation of $125 per band student. While the school district provides a budget allocation, there are numerous expenses that are not fully covered. Your contribution will help bridge this gap and provide our students with the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.

What does the recommended donation cover that is not included in the school district's budget allocation?

By donating $125, you directly impact the quality of our band program. Your generosity allows us to provide an exceptional musical education for our students, covering costs such as marching shoes and gloves, supplemental staffing and clinicians, and travel expenses. 

Can I donate an amount that is different from the recommended donation?

Every donation, regardless of the amount, makes a significant difference. We understand that circumstances vary for each family, and we genuinely appreciate any contribution you are able to make. Your support, whether it exceeds or falls below the recommended amount, demonstrates your commitment to the success of our students and the vibrancy of our band program.

How will my donation directly benefit the band students?

Together, let's ensure that every student has access to a comprehensive and enriching musical education. Your donation plays a crucial role in creating a supportive and inspiring environment where our musicians can excel and grow.

We deeply value your partnership in nurturing the talents of our dedicated band students. Your generosity helps us provide them with extraordinary opportunities and unforgettable experiences. Thank you for considering a donation to the Northwest High School Bands. With your support, we can continue to elevate the musical journey of our students and foster a lifelong love for music.
