🚨 All band students have required forms and fees to participate in band this year. 🚨

💵 If you need any financial assistance, there are ways we can help! Reach out to Mr. Ousey. 💵

On Tuesday, we will kick off our single largest fundraiser of the year – our FanPledge donation drive! This fundraiser is a great way for family and friends from across the country to donate and support our amazing students.

We are asking that students and families input the names, phone numbers, and email addresses of 20 individuals who you think would consider supporting our amazing band program.

Contacts can be anyone you know and trust! Consider extended family, friends, neighbors, church/youth group members, and anyone in between. We do ask that contacts are 18 or older and not businesses.

On Tuesday after school, students will call, text, and email their contacts to ask for pledges towards our fundraising efforts. Our goal is $50,000, which represents a significant portion of the funds needed to operate our exceptional band program.

Participation in any fundraising activity is optional, however, we need your help more than ever. Most of our program is funded through band fees and fundraising. Even the smallest contribution is significant.

Come join us for a family dinner sponsored by Dilla's prior to the Fall Concert on Wednesday, September 30th!

The meal will include a cheese or chicken and cheese quesadilla, cookies, and a bottled water.

The meal is $15 per plate. All proceeds from the event support the Killian Band general fund.

Dinner starts at 5:30 PM and ends just in time for our 7:00 PM concert start time. So, bring the whole family, have a great meal, and support the Killian Band!

Fall is officially here! It is time to celebrate (hopefully) cooler weather and have some fun at our Killian Band Fall Picnic! This optional event is an opportunity for all Killian band students to hang out, eat some good food, and have fun with their other band friends.

We are excited for our Annual Fall Band Picnic. We will need some volunteers to make this event a success.
