Band Uniform Fundraiser
Fundraising Goal of 150 New Jackets...
as of June 2nd; 115 purchased, 35 to go

Our band jackets are 12 years old and have been worn over one hundred times at community events, football games and competitions.
The Wildcat Marching Band has doubled in size in the past five years and we need more jackets as we continue to grow.  Due to budget cuts all the money to purchase jackets will come from alumni, boosters, family and friends.
