The band offers many opportunities to help each member earn money towards their individual account, as well as help fund the general band account. We announce upcoming fundraisers through meetings, newsletters and social media. We also have ongoing programs that help bring money into the program. We encourage you to participate as much as you can in the "big" fundraisers, but these ongoing programs are helpful too. Every little bit counts!
Envelope Fundraiser
Did you know you can raise money by sharing a few contacts with the Band? Earning money is very easy and the fundraising committee is determined to make it polished, professional and productive.
Send in 10-20 names and addresses of family members, friends, clients or vendors who might be good prospects to donate to the band. The Band will provide a printed form letter outlining financial responsibilities of the band. Included is a plea for a $25 donation, room for a hand written note from your student, a return addressed envelope, and four tickets to a future HHS Band concert. The Band will address the envelopes to your prospects and mail them.
BENEFIT: Every dollar that comes in is split 66/34- to your band account If you send in 10 names, and get $250 in returns, your individual CHARMS account will be credited $85 dollars and the Band general fund receives $165. So far the return rate on these envelopes is about 70% - so odds are in your favor that those you solicit will participate. The Band is counting on your participation!

VBC (Von Braun Center) Wristbanding and Concessions
One of the HHS Band’s biggest partners - is the Von Braun Center! Did you know that the Under 21 ID Program at all VBC Bars is managed by the HHS Band? This is a wonderful arrangement that allows year-round fundraising for the Band. Participating is so easy!
1) Attend a “Responsible Vendor” training class - where you learn the laws and rules of selling alcohol in the state of Alabama. These classes are held monthly at the VBC. Want to stay informed? Pay close attention to Band newsletters for upcoming dates and events!
2) Sign up to work an event in the Arena. Major concerts, rodeos, WWE, and Huntsville Havoc games will give you plenty of opportunity.
3) Every hour you work, the band earns $8.25. $6 per hour goes to your band account, and $2.25 goes to the general fund. With over 40 events per year, this arrangement pays the HHS Band between $18-$20k per year!
