Every dollar makes a difference

Support the Band

The Blue Ridge Band program is made possible by families and businesses like yours. Here's how you can help our students keep doing what they love.

The boosters organization raises all the money that keeps this program running beyond what the school budget covers: competitions, instrument repairs, uniforms, equipment, band camp, scholarships, and more. We are 100% volunteer-run, so every dollar you give goes directly to the students.

Band Dues

Dues are assessed per student and cover that student's share of program costs for the year. They are separate from any school-collected fees.

Marching Band

$600
per student ยท seasonal

Covers competition fees, transportation, show music & drill, equipment maintenance, and more.

Pay Marching Band Dues

Color Guard

$600

Pay Color Guard Dues

Scholarship Fund

$600
per student ยท seasonal

Covers either marching band or color guard dues for one student for one season.

Sponsor a Scholarship

Payment plans available. We never want cost to be a barrier to participation. If you need a payment plan or have financial hardship questions, please reach out privately to our treasurer at [email protected]. All conversations are completely confidential.

Not sure which dues apply to your student? Contact the director. Some students participate in multiple ensembles and there may be a combined rate.
