All Wake Forest High School Band programs are funded by students and families.  The Wake Forest High School Band Boosters are a non-profit organization (made up of band parents or guardians) designed to collect and raise funds in order to run these Band Programs.

Paying your student’s “Fair Share” is part of the commitment of being in marching band. The “Fair Share” funds everything from purchasing music for the season, caring for uniforms, paying staff/consultants, bus transportation for away football games and competitions, equipment and large instrument maintenance, etc.

“Fair Share” payments can be made in installments during marching band season (deadlines for these installments are on the marching band calendar). And, to help offset the cost of the “Fair Share,” you and your student can participate in fundraisers.

We put the FUN in FUNdraising!

You and your student will have several opportunities to fundraise to help the marching band. While some fundraisers are designed to support the marching band’s general operating fund, most fundraisers are specifically designated to help offset the cost of the “Fair Share.”

15%-20% of families pay for ALL of their “Fair Share” through fundraising! Some fundraisers that exist are: Scrip discount card program, volunteering at  PNC Arena and Walnut Creek Amphitheater, and more. Fundraisers are also a time to work together with your fellow band members and band parents and are a great way to make new friends.
