Band Needs
Since 2012, we have been very successful at fundraising and purchasing many items that our band didn't have or were in need of replacement. Currently, we are in need of about $20, 000 worth of equipment. In 2012, this number was about 4 times higher. The items we need will help us have better ensemble instrumentation, and will help us set more students up for success by providing them with the VERY best equipment possible. A good amount of our needs are expensive color instruments that we need in order to grow and achieve. The equipment needs can be found by clicking on the button below. This list is always changing and being updated as new equipment is being bought.
While we are fortunate to have a decent sized music library, many of the pieces are outdated, lacking the necessary parts, or we just don't have it. We are in dire need of jazz tunes, and many standard pieces of repertoire that a middle school band should own. Each of these pieces generally cost $40-$70 per piece.
We have also listed the purchase record of the equipment that has been bought since 2012. Thank you for your support of the SD Bands!

Fundraisers
In order for our group to thrive by providing exciting opportunities and the equipment listed above, we must fundraise! We are also applying for grants from various businesses and organizations to help us meet our needs. It is important that everyone help do their part by participating in our fundraising events. This money helps pay for trips, equipment, new music, and to provide our students the opportunity to be involved in all of the extra events that help positively engage them.
