Why Do We Fundraise?
The majority of the cost to fund the FRHS Band Program is covered through fundraising to keep student fees as low as possible. The required funding per student in the FRHS Band Program is roughly $1,500 per year and only about one-third of that is covered by student fees. Our fundraising efforts provide funding for the Fossil Ridge High School Marching Band and Color Guard, the Winter Guard, the Concert Bands (including Wind Symphony, Select Symphonic Band and Symphonic Band), Jazz Ensembles, and Percussion Ensembles.
There are many major fundraisers sponsored by the Band Boosters organization throughout the school year. The funds raised from these activities are essential to the operation of the total FRHS band program. They pay for staff and instructors, new instruments and equipment, maintenance and repairs, music and licenses, transportation and food at concerts and competitions, and scholarships to ensure that any student can participate in band regardless of their financial situation. Parent/adult volunteers to run and manage these these fundraising activities and events are an important element to their success! Fundraising is vital to maintain the level of competition and success that the Fossil Ridge High School Band students deserve.
We have many fundraising opportunities for band students and families to participate in including King Sooper’s Loyalty Cards, Safeway Gift Cards, Santa Breakfast, Car Wash, March-A-Thon, Mattress Fundraiser, and individual and corporate sponsorship. If you would like to help us raise funds for our students, please consider joining our Band Booster Fundraising Committee or contact our Fundraising Committee Leads, Sherri Vantellingen and Sarah Parks, frbbfundraising@gmail.com to get more information about volunteering.
