The Bands of Ashley High School

2026-2027 Screaming Eagle Sponsor

Become a Screaming Eagle Sponsor

The county funds the basics. Local business sponsors fund the rest: instructional staff, transportation, show production, uniforms, scholarships that keep students on the field, and the instruments we're replacing over the next decade. By 2036, every student in the Ashley band program will have the option of using a quality Yamaha instrument. Your sponsorship is part of that ten-year build.

Two ways to give

Tier Sponsorship: annual, supports operations

Adopt-an-Instrument: capital, toward the 2036 goal

Gifts of $2,500 or more enter the year's instrument capital fund. Fund a complete instrument package and receive a brass plaque on the case with your name for the life of the instrument (typically 15 years), plus named recognition in the program every year that instrument is in service.

Example packages: Flute ≈ $2,550 · Bass Clarinet ≈ $4,080 · French Horn ≈ $6,593 · Bari Sax ≈ $10,182 · Sousaphone ≈ $15,348. Full menu available on request.
