Minford Local School District hasn't added a story.
Members of the Mighty Minford Marching Falcons, of Minford High School, have been preparing for their upcoming major performance at the Washington D.C. Independence Day Parade this year. The band was awarded their spot in the parade by Ohio Congressman Bill Johnson, who spent a lot of time going through local bands and YouTube videos to find the best fit band to represent the area.
The school is now asking for community support in making this event a possibility for all of the students involved. The band has attempted to raise funding for the trip, with many different sales and benefits.
The band is currently at $10,000 with funding, but needs another $20,000 to reach the total cost of $30,000. The final payment is due by May and the trip will roughly cost each student $700 to attend.
This cost is outside of the students’ annual band fees and memberships, which total an additional $250 per child. This cost can be substantial, especially for students who are involved in other activities, attend prom, order senior pictures, have application fees for higher education due and more.
The kids are pumped. They’ve all worked on planning and distributing posters and information to Walmart and every church they know. The kids are working hard, but we just need that spark to get the community involved.
Jones explained that this trip has brought the local band families together, but she hasn’t seen local businesses and individuals jump on board yet.
We are hoping through this online fundraiser we will be able to reach more alumni and community members and open up more ways to donate money than just cash. Rest assured this money will go straight to our kids and helping them make it to this honored event.
(Part of this was taken from the Portsmouth Daily Times article written by Joseph Pratt. However please note the title of the article was incorrect as the band is not raising funds for uniforms, but simply for the travel expenses for this trip.)
