Why RUN and Why US??
​
The high school band program is made up of 200+ students and consists of three concert bands, two jazz bands, a percussion ensemble and chamber music ensembles. The Union Band Program is one of the finest in the state, having garnered awards and honors with each of its instrumental ensembles. They perform throughout the year giving multiple concerts, playing at school and community events, and performing at local and regional band festivals and competitions. Without a doubt, this music program makes a significant impact in the lives of its students and our community each year.

The Band Boosters are committed to supporting the Union Band and earnestly seeks creative ways of fundraising on their behalf. This 5K fun run is a tremendous opportunity for our program! Each year we provide new sheet music, new instruments, individual and group music lessons, festivals, guest clinicians, leadership training and scholarships for students in need. We diligently work to provide all students who need financial help with a scholarship to participate in the program. We never want to deny a student participation in music because of a concern for funding.
​
Fundraising can be challenging, but it is our hope that this fun run can help us continue to support our outstanding band through a fun, community event. Proceeds from this fun run, through corporate sponsorship, donations and entry fees, will go directly to support our band students in the 2018-2019 school year.
