Corporate Sponsorships
2023-2024
Providing a high level of instruction and performance opportunities for our students is expensive. Our total annual budget is over $200,000 with only a small portion coming from the Johnston County School System. The rest of our funding is provided through fundraisers, donations, and the financial contributions of our band families. We are seeking sponsorships from local businesses and members of the community to help ease the financial burden and continue our tradition of excellence.

2023-2024 Sponsorship Form
Here are some ways your sponsorship could help our band program & band students thrive…
- Instruments – our bands use large musical instruments that are typically cost-prohibitive for individual students to purchase (i.e. Tubas, Sousaphones, percussion equipment). The band owns these instruments and reuses them for as long as possible. However, many of our large instruments are over 10 years old and are nearing end of life. The cost of the large instruments can range from $2000-$10000.
- Music, Staff, & Design – In order to provide a top quality music program, we must purchase new music, show design, and music performance rights each year. We also support additional staff who offer specialized professional instruction in the areas of marching, color guard, & percussion who are critical to providing our students a comprehensive education.
- Competitions – Our bands compete in local, regional, and national competitions throughout the school year. Fees include transportation for students as well as transport of equipment, instruments, and props. Additionally, travel expenses can include cost of lodging and meals for students and staff.
- Uniforms and Equipment – Our Marching Band and Color Guard uniforms can cost as much as $10,000 per year. In addition there are ongoing equipment needs such as flags, poles, sound equipment, power cords, and props for our performances.
