Your Gift Makes A Difference
Every year, the WISD band program provides approximately six hundred
young people between the ages of 11 and 18 with music and performing-
arts skills. The experiences are as varied as par#cipa#ng with the State
Finalist Spirit of Waxahachie marching band, performing with one of ten
concert bands, including the State Champion WHS Wind Ensemble, chore-
ography and equipment-spinning through the Winter Guard program, UIL-
sanc#oned solo contests, or the award winning Jazz Orchestra.
A gi0 to the Spirit of Waxahachie band boosters provides general opera#ng support that enables young people to benefit from these programs. Your
gi0, combined with revenue earned from par#cipants’ fees, fundraisers, and school district budgets assure a high-quality, youth-development program.
Your support makes our students’ success possible.
