2022-2023 School Year
The Battlefield High School (BHS) Marching Band program needs your support! We are looking to raise money to support our future entry to the national competition stage. In addition, our equipment and instrumentation are in much need of refurbishment and replacement as they were purchased when the school opened over fifteen years ago. The Marching Band plays at all the home football games and select away games; competes in Virginia Band and Orchestra Association, and other local competitions; marches in local parades; and we are proud to represent our Haymarket/Gainesville community at Bands of America, recognized as the most prestigious competition for high school marching bands. We are supported by the BHS administration, but much of our funding is the responsibility of the Band Support Organization (BSO), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit entity. (Tax ID# 20-1725257)
Here are some of our immediate needs:
- Fees and transportation expenses for competitions
- Repair and upkeep expenses for trailers used to transport instruments, props, and electronic equipment safely
- Purchase new instruments and repair existing instruments
- Purchase uniforms, equipment, and mats for color guard
- Water/snack/meal donations for football games
- Travel expenses to support our students to compete at the State and National levels
As a community business, you have the opportunity to join the BHS Marching Band as we work together to provide funds needed to fully support our program and its talented students. It is our goal to make an impact in our community, in Virginia, and across the nation. As a Business Partner, you will be recognized according to the sponsorship level you choose. Your donation (financial, product-based, or service-oriented) is completely tax deductible. We appreciate your consideration of partnering with the BHS Marching Bobcats for the 2022-2023 school year.
Thank you!
