Music in the Buffalo Schools
The District's band enrollment is nudging close to 2500 students (grade 5 through 12). Our band program requires expensive instruments and equipment which is provided by the district. The life expectancy of an instrument used in a school music program is between 15 and 20 years. Many of the instruments currently in use in the Buffalo Schools are double that age.
Horns are rotting, literally. Tubas, Euphoniums and French Horns are so important to make the bands complete are costs the school district is unable to afford.
Please support our dedication to continue providing such an important piece of the students well rounded education and keep the Buffalo School's Music Program and All City Marching Band vibrant and progressive.
The goal of the Let the Band Play On campaign is to raise $300,000. Funds raised will be utilized to purchase band instruments and equipment to replace those that are no longer useable. Additionally, a fund will be establish through the Buffalo Public Schools Foundation to provide ongoing support to the band and fine arts programs throughout the Buffalo Public School District.
