THE PRIDE OF HAWK NATION
It's officially time to launch our 2nd annual Hawk Band Marchathon!
Marchathon is an annual event that allows supporters of the Hays High School Band and its student members the opportunity to sponsor a student or the entire program. This sponsorship is to support the over 200 hours of hard work that each student will put into the 2021 marching season. Sponsors have the opportunity to make a "per minute" sponsorship or make a flat donation sponsorship to show their support and appreciation for the hard work of each student and the Hays Band community. This year, every student has been tasked with a fundraising goal of $240. It is our hope that as a member of our Hays Band community you will consider making a donation to support the Pride of Hawk Nation! |
