ARCADE BAND FUNDRAISERS
Here Are Some Ways to Help Arcade Band!
Arcade Middle School Band Boosters is hosting a Spring Concert Fundraiser! Money is being raised for instrument repair, educational field trips, band t-shirts, music for students, and end-of-the-year awards. Your contribution makes all the difference for our students!
Another Way to Help:
Arcade band is partnering with the PTO to sell banner sponsorships on our fence facing Watt Ave! If you know any business owners who might be interested in advertising their company while supporting our program, please fill out the form below!
We hope to promote your business and help our band students! This money will also help our band program. Support us in keeping music alive and thriving at Arcade. Money goes directly back to our students!
