Fundraising
Fundraising is fun!
We hope you will join us this year to support the band through fundraising and volunteering. Everything we do directly supports our students by providing funds for their activities. We feed them meals, pay competition fees, pay for the transportation of equipment to away games and competitions, award scholarships to our graduating seniors, purchase much needed supplies and equipment and help out when the band needs us. If you haven’t already, please become a member of the Buena Music (BBA) to have a vote in how we raise and spend our hard earned funds at our monthly meetings. Watch for emails from our Concessions Coordinator for volunteer opportunities including concessions and fundraiser nights at local restaurants. We are looking forward to the rest of a great year for the Buena Bands!!

This is a great way to meet other band parents and raise a significant amount of funds for our band. If each band family could work at least one of the events this helps provide the volunteers need to run the concession stand and spreads out the obligation to all of the families.
