Help Our Kids.  Make a Difference.

The Logan Band & Color Guard Program depends heavily on fundraising and donations to offset costs for the many opportunities we make available to our young musicians. The school district only pays for the directors' salaries for class work.  All other expenses are covered by contributions made by booster parents and money raised from fundraising.  The expenses covered by donations and fundraisers includes:

• directors, techs, and choreographers used outside of class time
• music, drill design, show design, and choreography
• buses and bus drivers to transport students to competitions and performances
• truck rentals and drivers to transport equipment
• food, including meals, snacks, drinks and water for the students for all away shows
• flag and prop material, design, and construction
• uniform maintenance, replacement, and upkeep
• general equipment, such as mule and generators
• instrument purchase and maintenance
• entry fees for organizations and competitions
• travel expenses such as airfare, hotel, and car rentals for competitions requiring overnight stays

Everything this program does, from the historic, once in a lifetime trip to Beijing for the 2008 Olympics to the instruments and music used in the marching shows depends on fundraising, donations, and volunteers. Please help us continue making these world class opportunities available to our children!
