The instrumental music program is growing, and with growth comes opportunity and challenges. In the upcoming year the band will be undertaking numerous activities including but not limited to the following:
The 5-12 instrumental music program now includes over 250 students and is growing. As this growth continues we are presented with many challenges and opportunities to raise funds for the program. Our Band Parents Association is active with numerous fundraisers and projects to support and defray the cost for the families involved as well as the school system. To that end, we are always in search of additional assistance in order to give our students the best possible music education possible.
Here are some opportunities for you to further support the St. Clairsville-Richland City Schools instrumental music program. By donation through the Band Parent Association, which is a non-profit 501(c)-3 organization, your donation is tax deductible.
Sponsor a Uniform
For a $400 donation, you can sponsor a uniform for use by the St. Clairsville High School Marching Band and keep our band looking its best! A listing of all sponsors is maintained in the band room at the high school, and sponsor names will be announced at home football games.
