Fundraising
The Mead High School Band is a very active program that doesn’t exist without a few expenses taken on by its member and of course, their families. The Mead High School Band and Mead Bandwagon prides itself on offering many diverse opportunities for our students to raise money in an effort to offset these expenses.
Listed below is information detailing the many fundraisers that our program makes available to our students. Much of the information is based on previous years details and current details for each will be available as each fundraiser begins. Our hopes are that you will find the answers to most of your fundraising questions and that you will find a few fundraisers that you will encourage your son or daughter to participate in.
