Keep the Music Rolling this Give to the Max Day 2025!
The Waconia Band is more than just notes on a page — it’s the laughter at early morning rehearsals, the proud smiles at the band concerts, and the friendships that last long after the final performance. From fifth grade beginners to high school seniors, our students pour their hearts into every note.
But right now, we’re hitting a few flat notes. Our trailer is aging, our instruments are getting tired, and our parents (bless them!) are worn out from constant fundraising. In a small town where every business is already giving so much, it’s hard to keep asking. Door-to-door sales take too much of the profit — and too much of our joy.
That’s where you come in. This Give to the Max Day, your gift to the Waconia Band Boosters helps us raise $20,000 to purchase a new trailer, replace worn-out instruments, and support the essential costs of uniforms, equipment, and more — so our band can keep marching proudly for years to come.
Every dollar makes a difference. Every gift helps a student find their rhythm.
Give today — and help us keep Waconia’s music playing strong and proud!
