It is not uncommon for a large school to have hundreds of students participate in the marching band. That can mean an enormous number of dollars being spent on all kinds of things including uniforms, instruments, sheet music, and travel. And when you are paying for all of those things it is inevitable that you will have to do some marching band fundraising programs. In fact, running the marching band is often so expensive that most of them will do multiple school fundraisers throughout the year and even during the summer to be sure that all of their costs are covered.
Considering that you will probably be doing multiple marching band fundraisers throughout the year and that each one needs to raise a substantial amount of money, you probably want to find fundraising ideas that have a broad appeal but that may work really well during specific times of the year. This will allow you to break up the fund raisers into logical bits and will help differentiate them for your customers so that everything doesn’t seem to blend together like it might if you sold the same thing every time.
For example, our flower bulb fundraiser is extremely popular for marching bands when they do spring fundraisers. Spring is when most people get out in their yards and plant new plants and that makes it the perfect time to sell flower bulbs and seeds. With our flower bulb marching band fundraising program you get to keep a fantastic 50% of the proceeds plus it is free to start.
Another program that marching bands often choose during a specific season is our coffee and tea fundraiser which is often done during the late fall season leading up to the holidays. The coffees and teas are excellent for giving as gifts and are very easy to sell when it is cold and people are looking for something warm to drink. This fundraiser is also free to start and offers a flat 40% profit.
To get started with either fund raiser or to learn about our other marching band fundraising programs just give us a call. We can be reached at 877-448-9746 and are happy to help with all of your marching band fundraising needs.
