About this fundraiser:
The donation drive is the main fundraiser for the Explorer Band and Orchestra in 2025! The best part of a donation drive is that it takes less time and fewer volunteers to run, plus 100% of all donations will go directly to supporting music education at Explorer Middle School. Our goal of $20,000 is the amount used in 2024 to support these music programs.
​
Due to the gap in State and District funding for educational programs, the additional financial support from this fundraiser is needed to keep our music programs thriving and to ensure that all students have the opportunity to fully participate.
Your donations will help pay for:
-
Student scholarships for clinics, trips, etc.
-
School instruments
-
Instrument maintenance
-
New sheet music
-
Field trip transportation
-
Festival and event registration
-
Marching band equipment
-
Etc.

-
