Concert Attire
Band Students, are you ready for concert season?
Now is the time to purchase and/or check your concert attire from last year to make sure it still fits.
Fundraising
There are a few ways to raise funds throughout the school year. These funds can be used to pay annual band fees
or future trip fees.
Raise Right: Students and families purchase gift cards and receive a rebate. When traveling or around Glenview, open the app to see where you can earn local dining dollars. Take advantage of year-round fundraising!
75% of what is earned goes into the student’s account and 25% supports the band.
