Support the Band

LFO Band and Auxiliary is an award-winning band program with more than 100 active student members.

We are seeking corporate sponsors to provide tax deductible donations and scholarships to help our students cover fees. The LFO Band Boosters is a registered 501c3 nonprofit organization.  Although any monetary donation is appreciated, there are also different levels of support:

• Rock Star Status – $3000 covers marching band fees for 10 students
• Jazzin’Band – $1500 covers marching band fees for 5 students
• Ensemble Group – $900 covers marching band fees for 3 students
• Solo Level – $300 covers marching band fees for one student

We are also working to reach our $50,000 for new uniforms and an annual instrument purchase goal of $7,000.

Do you have used instruments in good condition?

Our high school and middle school band programs would be a great place to donate gently used instruments.  If you have an instrument you would like to donate, we can provide you a donation receipt for your tax records.  Email lakeviewbands@gmail.com if you would like to take advantage of this program.
