Rather than sleeping in on Saturday morning, the school’s band will kick off the year with their fourth annual March-a-Thon Fundraiser from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., where they will march four miles through the Turnbridge Manor and Hunters Creek neighborhoods.

“March-a-Thon gets the neighborhood ready [to be] supportive of the band,” junior Isabella Parish said.

The band will be stopping along their route to play show music and mini concerts and encourage audiences to watch them perform and donate to their fundraiser. They are hoping to raise $30,000 for the year.

“[The donations] go to a plethora of things,” Weaver said. “They pay for clinicians like college professors that come work with the band program and this year help quite a bit for the trip to Chicago which is in the area of about $12000.”
