MARCHING BAND - Sept. 21 schedule


Liberty Band Booster Meeting 9/18 @ 6:30 PM

Parents, 
A quick reminder Liberty Band Booster Meeting is tomorrow Wed, Sept 18th at 6:30 PM in the Auditorium and you are invited!  If you have a student in any of the bands at Liberty High School, you are a member of our booster organization.  We will love to have you there!  

It is our goal to  help keep you informed on many of the things happening this year with Concert bands, Jazz bands, and Marching band. One of the ways we do that is through these meetings every other month during the school year, so please plan on attending and bring your questions. 

Come  a bit early (or stay a few minutes after)  and bring your checkbook.   We will have spirit wear, scrip stock for sale.  The bookkeeper will be there to accept BOA payments. Also there will be people to help you sign up for King Soopers. 

Please find the attached meeting minutes from our meeting in May.

Thanks and we hope to see you there!

Liberty Band Day (formally known as March-a-Thon) is finally here!!!!

Hello All-

Liberty Band Day (formally known as March-a-Thon) is finally here!!!!

Yesterday, your students received the kick-off communication and details for our biggest fundraiser of the year!
Liberty Band Day is an opportunity for our supporters to donate to an incredibly good cause – Liberty Bands! Again, this fundraiser is open to ALL bands! Your student will have the opportunity to ask for donations from their supporters through mail AND email this year!
As you know, it takes a village – and money to do great things for our kiddos. This year, our goal is to raise $15,000 by 9/20! These funds will assist with MANY needed items, such as music, competition entrance fees, transportation, and much more!
How can you help to make this goal a reality for the kids? Attached is a document that will assist in your student’s communication in asking for support (document can be personalized to include your recipient's name in MS Word). Choose which one works best for you – OR – do both!
1. Email Option
a. Download and customize to your student (customization options are highlighted for your convenience).
b. Email your contacts! Reach far and wide to all your loved ones and family! We have great supporters everywhere!

2.Mail Option
a. Download, print, and mail this document to your family and friends asking for their support – OR –
b. Send your student to school on Monday ready with addresses and we will provide them with a pre-stamped envelope!

Just like all Liberty Bands fundraisers, your student will receive 40% of the donation – which will go directly into their allocation fund.

Liberty Band Day Launches TODAY and runs for TWO weeks until 9/20.We will accept donations beyond that date, however if you are focused on raising money for the St. Louis trip in particular, we will only use donations that are turned in by 9/20!


Let’s start spreading the word and provide as much support as possible for this GREAT band program and our AMAZING students! Ready – Set – GO!



Dear Liberty Lancer Family and Community, 
We need your help! 
Having a competitive band is an expensive (but very rewarding) program. Only about 10% of the costs are covered by the school, leaving it up to the students, parents, and fundraisers like this one, to cover the remaining 90%. 
This year, the Liberty High School Bands is launching their largest fundraiser of the year, Liberty Band Day! This event allows for Liberty Band families and friends to donate to the program so that your students can accomplish an award-winning season! 
Last year, Liberty Bands had a phenomenal season winning many awards to include a Superior distinction at CBA for Wind Ensemble and 2nd place in the state competition for the marching band!  
This year, we are planning an equally epic year and to make these experiences exceptional for your children, our goal is to raise $15,000 by 9/20/19! While we will continue to accept donations past this date, please note that if you intend to help fund a marching band student’s trip to MO, the donation would be most helpful if received by 9/20/19. 
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
We now have TWO ways for you to donate!
  1. Fill out and return the removable portion of this brochure along with your tax-deductible donation by 9/20/19. 
    1. Please make checks payable to Liberty Band Boosters with “Liberty Band Day” and your student’s name written in the memo.  
  2. Go online to and follow the below steps to complete your tax-deductible donation:
    1. Enter the following into your internet browser: https://squareup.com/store/libertybandboosters

    3. Follow the prompts to check out and enter your payment method
    4. Enter your student’s name into the “add additional note to merchant” field – don’t forget! This is how the student receives their share of the donation! 
Benefits of Donating: 
  1. Your donation helps BOTH the student you are supporting AND the general band program!
    1. 40% of your donation goes to the band student and 60% goes to the band program.
      1. Example: A $100 donation to Jane Smith = $40 will go into Jane’s student allocation fund (which helps her pay for her trips and other select fees) and $60 goes to the band program (paying for essential band items like music, transportation, etc.)
  2. Your donation helps out in SO many ways! Below is a small list of items your donation will help with:
  • Music
  • Competition entrance fees 
  • Transportation: busses and trucks
  • Staff & Clinicians 
  • Instruments 
  • Equipment upkeep 
  1. Your donation is tax-deductible!
