Boosters’ fundraising efforts support the entire band program, providing new instruments, guest clinicians, and other outstanding educational experiences that would not otherwise be possible. Besides the Jazz festival, we sell seat cushions and we have a holiday greenery sale with proceeds either going to the Boosters or to individual students if it is a year in which the band is taking a trip.

The Band Boosters support the program and our Nationally-Accredited teacher, Vince Caruso, in many ways:

• Purchasing new instruments
  
• Pay for costs of entry fees and transportation to festivals & competitions
  
• Hiring guest clinicians & performers
  
• Hosting a summer barbecue and the homecoming pizza feed
  
• Coordinating the ordering of uniforms
  
• Maintaining the band web-site
  
• Chaperoning the band when it travels to away games
  
• Providing water and snacks at football games
  
• Providing concert greeters
  
• Organizing & staffing the annual Bellevue High School Jazz Festival.
  

We also rely on individuals, family members and alumni who help us by making donations of any amount they choose. Following is a list of equipment purchases that the Boosters have made and also items on our list that we’d like to fund:
