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.

Digital flyers and information will be posted on Facebook and the BAND app as each month's opportunity approaches.

  • CONCESSIONS
The Bandstand has concession contracts with the Spokane Arena, Stadium One, Gonzaga's McCarthy Center and Union Stadium. Usually 6-8 people teams sell food and beverages. You must obtain your food worker's card, your MAST certificate (alcohol) and a Levy certificate (customer service). If you are interested, go to the "Volunteer" tab to begin taking these courses. The Arena events are Bandstand general fund and individual students' bandstand account credit, all other venues' events are full credit directly to individual students' bandstand accounts. Events and dates will be set up through SignUp Genius and posted to the private parent Facebook page and the BAND app as the occasion approaches. These opportunities occur all year round, and multiple times per month.

  • JUST BETWEEN FRIENDS
This happens in September at the Spokane County Fair and Expo Center. We help JBF with their tear down - it is a lot of walking and sorting and a full 5 hours of work. Signups will be announced on the private parent Facebook page and the BAND app.

  • CRAFT FAIR
The Annual Craft Fair is an ALL hands on deck weekend - all music department students and parents are essential and expected to work at least one shift throughout the weekend. The Craft Fair also coincides with Mead's Pacific Northwest Marching Band Competition, making for a very busy, long three days. Help will be needed Friday evening to get set up for the Vendors' Booths, Saturday shifts begin around 8am and will run through to 5pm - shifts are set up in 2 hour increments. If you work a Saturday day shift, you will miss the Marching Band's prelim show at the PNWMBC, but will be able to attend the Saturday night show at Union Stadium. 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. All band department students will be required to pick up a yard sign the week before the Craft Fair to place in their front yard as a means to advertise and promote this occasion. All proceeds of this fundraiser go into the general fund.
