Worthing Uniform & Instrument Drive
Donation protected
The Worthing High School Marching Band with the help of Marye Dean Esq. (President of WHS Band Fundraising Committee) are conducting a uniform and instrument drive and WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!
Did you know that our music program receives $0.00 annually from our district and from the state of Texas?
Did you know that we operate on a budget each year that is based on donations and fundraising alone? It's not easy, but we do it! Here are some examples of the expenses that we incur each year just to maintain our current program:
Bus to events ‐ $100+
Each game it cost $100 or more to order 1 bus to travel to games. Most games we are sitting 3 to a seat because we only have 1 bus. Also, we have been invited to several events out of town. Charter buses will need to be rented for these events.
School Instrument Repairs and Maintenance ‐ $2,000+
Instruments "wear and tear" when they are heavily used, and must be properly maintained in order to play well. Many students use school‐owned instruments such as French horns, tubas, baritones and percussion that are over 10 years old.
Uniforms ‐ $3,000 +
Students will all receive Worthing High Band T-shirts and windsuit, (uniforms for dancers, flag and twirlers) for "informal" performances such as the football game performances, in‐school performances, and local community performances. It is important for us to look good. Our visual appearance makes the first impression on an audience!
Drum heads, Sticks and Mallets ‐ $2,000+
As you all know, percussion players have to beat their drum heads continually and they wear very fast. These heads must be replaced atleast twice a year at minimum. Cymbals crack over time and have cause very dangerous conditions for the players.
Any size donation will help to this cause and will be greatly appreciated.
