Organiser's description
Come support your JF Cavaliers, as we challenge the Brookville Bees to see who has the best band spirit in the region. Help show the JF community is second to none.
The Jefferson Forest High School and Forest Middle School band program is designed to empower individuals through music. Music education has changed the lives of hundreds of students over the many years they have existed. A program like this takes a lot of work and support. The Jefferson Forest Band Booster parents are committed to supporting, encouraging and growing the musical abilities of all students. Therefore, the JFBB invites everyone to support music for the long run. Work off those holiday pounds and raise money for the band programs at the same time.
The middle school band is raising money for new concert uniforms and a new set of chimes. A cost totaling over $10,000.
The high school band needs to replace and upgrade a lot of instruments that have been in constant use for the past 25-30 years.
4 St. Petersburg tubas (plus a case) @ $5000/EA
6 Conn 8D French Horns @ $6000/EA
2 Selmer Paris Series III Model 64 tenor saxophones @ $8000/EA
Fox Model 800 English horn @ $8000
4 Yamaha 621 Bass Clarinets @ $9000/EA
Ludwig Concert Toms (drums) @ $1650
Plus a new band truck!
This is a combination live run/walk with a virtual for those who are unable to attend. We would love to see everyone out on on the Jefferson Forest High School track on Saturday April 13, 2024. Registration opens at 8 am. Runners start at 8:45 am and walkers start at 10 am. If you are unable to physically attend, please find a fund place to walk or run on your own in support of our band students.
For those who can be there in person, you will be running or walking on the JF track while being serenaded by various student lead band ensembles. We will also be competing against Brookville High School to see which school can bring out the most participants. Let's not let our students down! We have a lot to prove, so join us in support of our JF band kids, music, fun and some friendly competition.
