Fundraising
We offer many fundraisers throughout the year which support either the general band fund or each student’s personal account. Money that goes into the general band fund is used to purchase equipment, instruments, music, marching band needs and other important items for the use by all of the bands at Waukesha West High School. Money in a student’s individual account is used to help fund his/her band trips, marching band fees and other miscellaneous expenses.
Spirit Wear
Spirit Wear items are sold to both marching and non-marching band members and fans throughout the fall season. We offer T-shirts, sweatshirts, sweat pants, jackets, duffle bags, stadium seats, accessories, and much more. Most items can be ordered with either the Cadets logo or the Waukesha West Bands logo. The first sale of Spirit Wear occurs in August and there are additional opportunities to order before the end of the marching season. A link to online orders will be given via the summer and fall marching band newsletters and periodic emails. All proceeds go to the general band account.
Spring Vendor Fair
The Waukesha West Music Department's annual Spring Vendor Fair began in 2021. From the outset, our vendor fair would fund scholarship opportunities for our music students so that they could pursue private music instruction. Since our inaugural event, we've been able to provide multiple scholarships to many musician who may otherwise not have had access to private instruction. We are grateful to our community sponsors, and vendors.
Held the Saturday before Mother's Day, our vendor fair offers a wonderful community event for guests of all ages. The fair hosts a wide variety of crafters, artisans, and direct sales vendors, food trucks, activities for kids of all ages, and musical entertainment provided by West's very own student musicians. It truly is an exciting community event!
Fall Fundraiser
At the beginning of the school year, students have the option of selling anything from coupon books to various gift and food items, depending on the program chosen that year. A percentage of each student’s sales from the fall fundraiser will be deposited into his/her band account.
