Sickles High School Bands

Sickles High School Bands is a large, growing, and high achieving performing arts curriculum where excellence in musicianship, character, and leadership is emphasized.  We provide a top-quality band experience for the benefit of our student musicians, our school, and our local community while keeping our band dues as affordable as possible for parents.  To achieve this and to supplement low school operating budgets, we must engage in a vigorous fundraising program and depend on the generous in-kind and sponsorship support of individuals, funding organizations, and corporations for goods, services, and cash donations.   

Please consider Sickles High School Bands when reviewing your charitable options.  What better investment than music education whose impact on our students will be remembered and demonstrated throughout their lives?  All donations are tax-deductible to our registered not for profit organization 501(c)3.  Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Become a Trailer Sponsor:

• $200 per school year
• Corporations provide logo; we create a cling for the trailer
• Digital logos are also placed on our website
• If corporate banners are provided; they are placed in an ad space at the school

One of the easiest ways for a local business to support the Sickles Band Program; a naming sponsorship on our travel trailer. Your logo rides along with the award-winning Sickles High School Marching  Wall of Sound and our other performance ensembles everywhere they go throughout the Tampa Bay area and beyond. When not in use, the trailer is parked at Sickles High School as a stationary billboard.

Community Grants and Corporate Matching Grant Program

Some employers offer to their employees a matching grant program which could mean your costs/donations are matched and the band gets additional support we need.  We will assist with the paperwork necessary; we are a registered not for profit charitable organization.

We also seek funding through community grants from local, regional, and national organizations.  If you have experience in grant writing professionally or through your previous volunteer efforts, please let us know.  We can use your help!
