Let’s get the fundraising out of the way now so we can focus on the music! Please share our GoFundMe link far and wide.
Money raised at the Play-a-thon supports all aspects of our program and covers a variety of costs such as purchasing sheet music, subsidies for performance attire, travel to festivals and parades, solo and ensemble registrations, specialist teacher support, among others.
Rather than charge a mandatory fee for band, Mr. Riler and the Friends of Cleveland Bands feel strongly that access should be available to all. This is why we ask friends and family to support the program with tax-deductible donations that are meaningful and appropriate to them. We do not want to limit any student’s ability to participate!
