On Friday September 30, the Cleveland High School band will have an 8-HOUR "PLAY-A-THON" to raise money for the band program. They are doing this beause they love music AND because they hope you will support them! Please consider giving:

$240 ($20 for every hour they will play)
$120 ($15 for every hour they will play)
$80 ($10 for every hour they will play)
$48 ($6 for every hour they will play)
OR, any amount that you would like!

Your gift will help fund TRAVEL FESTIVALS, BRINGING IN SPECIALISTS, SUBSIDIES for PERFORMANCE ATTIRE, and SOLO/ENSEMBLE REGISTRATIONS.

Any money we raise over our goal of $16,500 will go toward our campaign to Reinstate the Marching Band. For that campaign we are seeking to raise $65,000 to replace the Marching Band uniforms from 1985. Each new uniform costs $360.

This is going to be another fantastic year, coming off of two years of competing in the State Band competition, we have now have 125 kids in band (compared to 82 last year). Here is a video of the new larger pep band playing at a football game last Friday: https://youtu.be/88s-26EMYDc

Funding for music and arts in our schools is sorely missing. Children who experience music learn not just how to be a great musician, but also learn discipline and teamwork. Many studies show that music improves performance in other subjects like math and science.

CHS currently offers Concert Band, Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble and Jazz Band classes, an IB Music course, and performs as the Pep Band at football and basketball games.

Our Band Director, Gary Riler, moves into his second year after a fantastic first year including marching in the Starlight Parade (and placing 3rd in their division) and sending many students to the state solo and ensemble competition.

Each student has a goal of raising $100. There are prizes available for participation and for the students who raise the most money AND the most number of gifts.

BE SURE TO PUT THE NAME OF THE STUDENT YOU SUPPORT IN THE COMMENT BOX!
