Fundraising is a crucial component of our band program. With ongoing budget cuts, we only receive very limited funds from our district. The band program offers a variety of fundraising opportunities that go towards our Band Booster's General Fund and others that are individual based for students to help pay for band camp, trips, etc.
Band Booster General Fund:
Village Market: We are currently collecting Village Market receipts. Receipts can be turned into the band room at the high school or you can give them to your student to turn them in. Make sure the receipt says "Community Cash" on the receipt!
Pennies for Band: Have any spare change lying around? Not using your pennies or have some extra dollars? The HS Band is collecting spare change and the container is located in the ERHS Music room.
Band Swag: Each year we offer band apparel to students and families. Orders will be taken in the fall semester.
Poinsettia's: Through Michel's Greenhouses in Elk Rapids, we sell poinsettia plants to area businesses (late-October) and to students and families (November). These plants are beautiful decorations for our Winter concerts.
Band Concessions: Elk Rapids High School is a host site for the Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association (MSBOA) Band & Orchestra Festival. Our Band Boosters have concessions available during the two weekend event with special help from Joe Watt, owner of The Cone Corral in Elk Rapids.
****NEW****Spring Flower Sale: In the spring we will be having a flower sale for students and families. More details will be shared in Late-Winter 2021.
Individual Accounts:
Village Market Gas Pumping: Students 16 and over can pump gas; students younger than 16 can wash windshields and collect donations.
****DUE TO COVID-19 WE ARE NOT DOING GAS PUMPING UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE****
Bleacher Cleaning: Students can sign up to clean-up bleachers at the end of selected Varsity games during the fall/winter seasons.
****NEW**** Donuts and Coffee: Starting in the winter, students will be taking donut and coffee orders through Krispy Kreme. More details will be shared in Late-Fall 2020.
