2010 VHS Band March-A-Thon

The VHS Band March-A-Thon is the band's biggest and most important fundraiser of the year.

On August 7th, 2010, the Vandegrift High School Marching Band will set out at 8:30am and march the Steiner Ranch neighborhood for 4+ hours, providing music and entertainment in a highly mobile fashion as well as providing customized lawn concerts for those who donate $100 or more to the band.

Contact Vandegrift Band Director Jeremy Spicer for more info on scheduling the band for your lawn. Note that you must be on the pre-established route to get a lawn concert. However, you are welcome to reserve a personalized concert at any of our stopping points, noted with large circled numbers on the route map.

You can donate online with the donation widget on this page, or you can send a check payable to VHS Band Boosters. If you want to credit a specific student, please be sure the student's name is written in the memo field of the check. Either give it to your favorite band student, bring it to a booster meeting or mail it to:

VHS Band Boosters
7301 RR 620 N
Suite 155, #267
Austin, TX 78726-4359

Note that we accept funds towards this fundraiser all throughout the schoolyear!

Through fundraising activities, students earn and accumulate points that can be applied to band trips, fees, special events, and similar items. If you would like a particular student to receive credit for your donation so that they can earn points, be sure to include the student’s name in the payment notes under "Band Student to be referenced, if any: " or "Special Instructions to the seller".

You can download the official 2010 Marchathon Flyer for printing, distribution or linking. Help us spread the word!
