Greetings Cardinal Band, Orchestra, and Jazz Families!

Band Retreat (for Wind Ensemble and FLI-Band Members)

Music-A-Thon

 

This is a required performance fundraiser that works really well for us. Basically, the music department live-streams music performances non-stop and people donate money through GoFundMe. We rotate between Freshman band, Wind Ensemble, choir, jazz band, and guitar class. This also includes sub-sets from these groups. When not performing, students can go to the food room, game room, or study room. This is a super-fun activity that brings in a good amount of money for the music department.
