Why do we have fundraisers? In an effort to keep band fees as low as possible, we have fundraisers such as tag day, carwashes, cookie sales, flower sales, Kroger cards, the Meijer card program, and Kohl’s cards. The funds that we raise help to pay for hotel rooms, buses, food, drills, music, and many more expenses. When everyone pitches in and works together on fundraising, band fees can stay at a reasonable level.
