Who W.E. Are
The Warren East High School Band is a rural high school band located in Bowling Green, KY. We have a successful Symphonic Band, field a competitive Marching Band, and have Indoor Percussion Ensemble, Jazz Band, and Winter Guard programs.
Over the last several years, our program has grown by leaps and bounds, allowing us to provide more and more students with a quality musical education. Unfortunately, however, our budget has not grown in the same way as our program. This has caused our excess instrument inventory to become depleted, and repair needs to mount.
What We Need & What You Get
In order to continue to grow our program, and to provide the students we have with the highest quality music education possible, we are in need of many new instruments and repairs to many of the instruments that we currently have.
All money that we raise will go strictly toward the repair of our current instruments, and purchase of new instruments. Right now, our current instrument purchase priorities are:
- 5 Marching Baritones/Euphoniums (approx. $2,000 each)
- 4 Concert French Horns (approx. $2,000 each)
- 2 Mellophones (approx. $1,500 each)
While we know that the $5,000 we are seeking in funding won't fully fund these needs, it will go a long way!
As a thank you for your donation, all contributors will receive the heartfelt thanks from the members of the Warren East Band! All contributions, great or small, are genuinely appreciated.
The Impact
The impact from receiving funding for new instruments will be long-lasting. These instruments will provide many years of service to our band, and will allow us to offer music education to a greater number of students. The quality of our program will increase due to the higher quality equipment on which our students will be able to perform.
