Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why does the Staley Band do an 'all band' fundraiser?
Every year the band department strives to give every child an amazing experience in band!  While the school budget helps cover many costs for your band student, there just simply isn't enough money to do all the activities we want to do with our students.  While we do many small events to raise funds (spirit nights, pre-concert meals, kiss-o-grams, etc.) this is the only fundraiser we ask the students to take a major role in.  The money raised will be used to help us lower the cost of reward trips, bring in clinicians and judges, and purchase any necessary supplies that are needed and cannot be covered with the school budget.

Direct Donations
Your family CAN make a direct donation to the BPA if you choose not to participate in the fundraiser.  Like the fundraiser, please make all payments out to SMSBPA and return it in an envelope marked ‘Fundraiser Donation’ with your child’s name on it.  If you (or family members) would prefer to donate online CLICK HERE.

Reminders from the Presentation

• The general goal for all students is to sell 15 items or consider making a $50-$100 direct donation.
• Students are encouraged NOT to go door-to-door
• Parents ARE encouraged to take the flyer to work and sell to their co-workers!
• Items will be delivered in November with prizes.  We should receive items the week before Thanksgiving break.

​When the Items Arrive

• The items should arrive well before Thanksgiving.
• Before we send the items home we will be checking to make sure you have everything you need during class.
• Students who walk or ride a bike home will need to make alternate arrangements if they sell a lot of items.
• If there is a problem with your order you will need to work directly with the customer support line (do not contact the band staff)​
