Our students will not only be representing our community, but the entire state of Indiana. This is an incredible honor and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!  Due to the costs associated with this trip, Brownsburg Band &amp; Orchestra Parents, Inc. (BBOP) has established the M2M2021 Fund (March to Macy's 2021 Fund).  We have estimated the overall cost for transportation, room and board to exceed $300,000 (roughly $1600 per student). Our goal is to make sure money is never a reason for a child to miss out on something they passionately wish to pursue, and we desire that all Brownsburg High School band students have an opportunity to participate in this trip. All money donated to the M2M2021 Fund will go directly to help offset student fees for this trip.  Brownsburg Band &amp; Orchestra Parents, Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit, which allows all donations to be tax deductible. Suggested Donation Levels: $1600 - BBOP Full Trip Fee $800 - BBOP Partial Trip Fee $250 - BBOP Booster $100 - BBOP Friend of the Program The National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) recently named the Brownsburg Community School Corporation one of 13 school corporations in Indiana to be a Best Communities for Music Education. The Best Communities for Music Education designation is awarded to districts that demonstrate outstanding achievement in efforts to provide music access and education to all students.   Please consider helping us continue to build the strong music program in Brownsburg by donating to the March to Macy's 2021 Fund. <iframe media_type="0" media_id="VcBkmI6fy_E" class="youtube-replace" title="YouTube video player" style="margin-bottom:20px;width:560px;height:315px;" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/VcBkmI6fy_E/?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="1"></iframe> <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/41920070_1633387150540647_r.jpeg" alt="41920070_1633387150540647_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />
