Support the Bands of Ashley High School
Become a Screaming Eagle Sponsor
Local business sponsors fund the staff, transportation, scholarships, and instruments that make a serious public-school band program possible. Two ways to give. Both build the program for the long run.
Path 1
Tier Sponsorship
Annual support for program operations and student scholarships. A portion of every tier sponsorship feeds the scholarship pool that covers marching band season fees and trip costs for students whose families need help. Sponsors who commit to a 3-year tier partnership receive 10% off the annual rate.

Path 2
Adopt-an-Instrument
The 10-year capital track toward the 2036 vision: every student in the Ashley band program with the option of using a quality Yamaha instrument. Gifts of $2,500 or more enter the year's instrument capital fund. Sole sponsors of a single instrument receive a brass plaque on the case for the life of the instrument.
A complete instrument package includes
- The instrument (quality Yamaha, or named equivalent for instruments Yamaha does not make)
- Required accessories (mouthpiece, ligature, reeds, oils, mutes, case if not included)
- 5-year maintenance reserve sized at one-third of purchase price, based on a 15-year instrument lifecycle
Sole sponsor of a single instrument receives
- Brass plaque on the instrument case with your name, in service for the life of the instrument (typically 15 years)
- Named in the concert program's “Instruments Sponsored By” section every year the instrument is in use
- Listed on the permanent Instrument Donor Wall in the band room
- Annual Instrument Reveal photo packet with the student playing your sponsored instrument
- Personal thank-you note from Mr. Parker and from the student
- Invitation to the annual Sponsor Recognition Night (2 tickets)
