Bingo
The Band has an ongoing Bingo fundraiser that is run weekly at the VFW Hall - this is our biggest money maker and significantly reduces the costs associated with the band program for us. Band parents are required to work at least once a month. Since the funds we get from this goes to support all bands, we ask for help from all parents.
It is a lot of fun, and it is a great way for the band to be active in our community. Also for every 4 hours that an adult works, $10 goes into your student's account - plus there are some other earning incentives for first timers and people who help each month. All of the hours that a student works can be counted as service hours towards a letter.

MCGC Winter Guard Show: We hosted a winter drumline and guard show for the first time in 2014, and plan on continuing to host each year. We make money for the band on ticket sales and concessions. It takes about 80 people during the day to run the show.

Erwins Orchard
Each Fall the Marching Band performs at Erwins and they also do an Apple selling fundraiser with them. The students collect orders and payments for the apples, then after the performance the students pick the apples and then deliver them. Erwins gives us a great price on the apples and to the buyers, the price is pretty much the same they would get buying it themselves.
In years that we have a band trip 100% of the profit goes to your student account based on their sales. In opposite years it is a 50/50 split with the students and the boosters.

We serve a meal for the people that come (family friendly... hot dogs, mac and cheese...) and we ask for food donations for Active Faith. We charge for the event and give half of the profit to Active Faith.
We also do small crafts, games, face painting, and have Santa come where we do pictures.
