Support our passion, empower our students
The Bunnell-Stratford Marching Band and Guard relies on the generosity of our community. Your support directly enriches the lives of our students and helps us continue to provide exceptional musical and performance opportunities.
Why your support matters
As a local town marching band, our major source of revenue comes from membership fees and the invaluable donations received from generous individuals and businesses. With very limited support from the school district, all funds must be raised by our dedicated board and students to ensure our program runs smoothly. These funds are then reinvested directly back into the Band and Guard, benefiting every single member.
Fundraising is an easy way to donate for your students' seasonal goals. By participating in fundraising activities, you can contribute to vital programs, resources, and experiences that help students excel in their pursuits. Whether it’s for music, sports, or other extracurriculars, your support helps us equip students with the tools and opportunities to grow musically and personally. Engaging in fundraising not only fosters a sense of community but also ignites enthusiasm among students as they work towards achieving their aspirations. Get involved and make a difference today!

Community impact
The monthly Can and Bottle Drive serves as an essential fundraiser for both our band and guard programs.
We invite all students to volunteer and participate, as their commitment not only benefits the groups but also strengthens our community ties.
This ongoing initiative allows us to gather recyclable materials while also promoting environmental sustainability.
When you donate your cans and bottles, you contribute directly to the growth and development of our talented students.
Together, let's embrace this opportunity to support our young musicians and performers while making a positive impact in our community!
