The Armijo Band Boosters Inc., is a Non-Profit 501c(3) and is open to anyone who would like to help physically and financially to support the Armijo High School Band Program. We welcome all parents and friends to join. Please email us at armijosuperband@gmail.com with any questions.
The Armijo Band Boosters and Armijo High School Band cannot charge fees to participate. What we ask is if you can help by meeting your family donation goal for the year. What does the family donation cover? That's a very good question, and we are glad to answer.
The Armijo Band Boosters pay:
Meals at all the performances
Instructional Staff
Cleaning of the Uniforms
Entry Fees for Competitions
Honor Bands
Music
Instruments and Repair
Other Miscellaneous Band Items that come up.
With over 68% of our students attending Armijo on the Free and Reduced Lunch Program we know that money is tight. We have to fundraise over 95% of what we spend while the other 5% is direct contributions from parents or the community. With that being said, we offer a number of fundraisers that we could use your help on. Your presence alone can help us achieve our fund raising goal.
Uniform Cleaning $3000
Staff $15,000
Music $1500
Instrument Repair $5000
Entry Fees $5000
Insurance $600
Tax Preparation $500
Food $7000
Guard Uniforms $4000
Guard Equipment $500
As you can see it adds up real fast. We are trying to limit the number of fundraisers because we know how much time and energy it takes. The fundraising goal for the year based on 25 students will be $300. Families with more than one child will be given a different goal.
If you head on over to our fundraiser page, you will see all the different ways you can support the band without even spending a dime out of your own pocket. Some fundraisers will raise money directly to your goal.
We need chaperones on the bus to and from events. We need parents who can cook and help feed the students and parents at the events. What it comes down to is that we need you and your amazing talents to help raise these kids and make them the best that they can be. Even if you can only come to one performance or one fundraiser it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
