You can use these cards - in place of cash, checks, or charge cards - to purchase everyday items like food, clothing, and other essentials. With every purchase, you earn revenue for our organization.

Wish List
Given the budgetary constraints in the school district we are reliant on fundraising and charitable donations in order to provide our students with the many items that our new program needs. Please consider supporting Skyline Bands with a tax-deductible charitable donation. A "wish list" of items needed for the Skyline Bands is featured below. While not all inclusive of the band's needs, it does represent many of the expenses we will incur as we continue to grow our marching and concert band ensembles. Consider making a donation to cover all, or part of one of these items. Any amount you can share will be greatly appreciated and put to good use right here at your student's school. ~ Improvements to Practice Rooms ~ Soundproofing in Band Room ~ Instrument Purchases ~ Music __________________________________________________________ Items Purchased in Previous Years Commissioned Wall Mural $5,000 Sound System Improvements $3,000 English Horn 1 needed at $8,000 Marching Band Shako Carl-Case 30 needed at $10.50 each Marching Band Rain Coats 120 needed at $67.95 each Quilted full lining Black Concert Folders 60 more needed at $10.95 each Marching Tubas 3 needed at $4100 each (bought used from Bluecoats Drum Corp) Mellophones 3 needed for marching band season at $150 each (rented from MusicRentalCentral.com) THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! |
