I don't think Big Fundraising Ideas could have handled this situation better. There were never any rosy promises, but they were able to get us out of the penalty for being under our goal with the cookie company. I guess somebody ate this cost somewhere. I will definitely consider Big Fundraising Ideas again, hopefully under better circumstances next time.

Service was very good. the only reason for not having five stars is because we are still waiting on one case to be delivered.

High school band flute playersHow Do Band Fundraisers Work?

Band fundraising is a way of life for high school music students. Most band directors admit it's expensive to be competitive, so boosters and directors work constantly to bring in money. Whether you're fundraising for band trips or new uniforms, if you want to compete, it will cost money. As such, high school band fundraisers are essential to keeping the band program thriving.

The most common way for groups to raise money is to sell products. Items like wrapping paper and cookie dough account for more than $1.5 billion in annual profits, so fundraising ideas for band activities often revolve around these popular items.

You can have your students take orders from a brochure or order a product first and have them sell it “in hand.” Either way, no upfront payment is required. This flexibility makes band fundraising ideas easy to implement.

If you prefer to take orders first, we’ll send each band member a brochure, order form, and money envelope. When finished, send us your order forms so we can process, pack, and ship your merchandise. This process ensures that your marching band fundraisers run smoothly.

You’ll receive a complete sales report and invoice, and we’ll contact you to set up your delivery date. When selling directly, payment is due 15 days after receiving your product, giving you time to sell the product. Your profit is the difference between the total amount collected and your invoice.

To get started, complete our online purchase order form and kick off your fundraising for bands today.

Learn why music education in schools is important

Our favorite fundraising product for a band fundraiser is popcorn. You can let people pick their flavor on the spot from various options. Selling along the sidelines or in the bleachers during a game will be a breeze, especially when you offer that cheddar jalapeño flavor. Yum!

Consider placing “This Popcorn Supports the Middlebury Marching Band” on the popcorn bags. It never hurts to go for some extra marketing.

Another good fundraising option is the discount card. These can be customized with the band’s group photo on the front and options for food to grab after the game on the back, which is one of the best band fundraisers for visibility and engagement.

Sell individually packaged goodies at events where the band plays, like the homecoming football game or other school events. Folks can see what their money is supporting at a time when they’ll enjoy a tasty snack. These are excellent band fundraising ideas to consider.

First, identify the appropriate incentive for your band members' age range. Traditional prizes, like headphones and scooters, may be better for younger band members, while cash prizes would probably motivate older ones. Apparel prizes would work well for both!

Consider polling your group to determine what type of prize would be most appealing. Traditional prize programs are likely more workable for smaller groups, like band fundraisers. But, a Super Party event for larger band fundraisers may be desirable.

Prizes are free of charge, and the group retains a 40% profit on items sold. Students will benefit by receiving prizes for their hard work. You’ll also be able to raise awareness throughout the sales process about the benefits of a band program.

‘Cash Prize Extravaganza’ offers up to $200 in cash. An online cash prize program is available as well.

Band members will be motivated by the opportunity to help their group reach a big overall goal. It’s a win-win for school bands and their musical members!

By incorporating these band fundraising ideas, you can ensure your fundraiser bands achieve success and help your band program thrive.
