BAND FUNDRAISERS

The MSHS Bandstand is excited to offer multiple fundraising opportunities throughout the year. These fundraisers earn money for individual students' bandstand account or the Bandstand general fund. Fundraisers are organized and run by band parents and band students. 

We hold yearly fundraisers, such as the Artisan Craft and Food Fair, Annual Car Wash, and candy sales to name a few.
The Bandstand employs Concessions at various venues in Spokane and also partners with local businesses to offer fundraising opportunities while families eat out and have fun. Dates and locations for these fundraisers will be announced, so be sure to watch your emails and social media for this information.

The Craft Fair will have a bake sale and all music students are asked to donate a store bought or homemade product - all items need to be individually packaged. Bandstand will also have a signup requesting food and beverages to sell at the concession for the Craft Fair, these will be store bought items for you to purchase and donate to the Craft Fair in order to collect 100% of the proceeds.
