Staley Band Handbook 2023-2024
Getting Involved
Ways to help
In many cases there is great parent involvement at both the elementary and high school and a drop off for middle school. We hope to avoid that and keep everyone active in some of the most important and formative years of your child’s education. Some of the most beneficial ways are listed below.

- Donate your time: we have performance monitors, trip chaperones, and many other ways you can help! This is THE MOST valuable resource we need.
- Gift cards: our BPA can use gift cards to purchase food, instrument supplies, and many other necessary things throughout the year. This helps ease our operating costs and any amount is greatly appreciated. Most common places include: any music store, Costco, any office supply store, home depot.
- Donate Consumables: Colored paper reams, pencils, music supplies, etc.
- Personal Sponsorships: You can purchase supplies for a student or even sponsor a child for private lessons for the year! Contact a director for more information.
- Corporate Sponsorships: If your company would like to sponsor the Band please let us know! There are many ways companies can help between donations, matching funds, or sponsoring an event. We will gladly put your information on our programs and website!
- More ways are always being developed! If you have an idea to help– please let us know!
Fundraising
Band is a curricular course that had many additional events and activities throughout the year. In order to provide the financial resources for these activities, the Band participates in one major fundraising activity in the fall. All money raised is used to directly benefit the students in the Staley Band program. For those who are interested, donations are gladly accepted in lieu of participating in fundraiser. More information about fundraising procedures will be sent home at the start of our fundraising drive at the end of September.
In addition to the major fundraiser the SMSBPA sponsors, there will be multiple events meant to help raise funds for the Band. All parents are encouraged to volunteer at least once this school year. We cannot make all these events happen without you!
