Fundraising

Fundraising for East Lyme Viking Band 

Running a marching band is truly a group effort, not only for  the performers and band staff, but also for the support team.  

The support team is a group  of volunteer band parents, current  and former, dedicated to the success of the ELVB. 

The team  volunteers their time and sweat equity to make ELVB fundraisers a  success for the program. Monies collected all goes to help pay for ELVB staff,  instruments, uniforms, supplies, copyrights and competitions. 

The team’s consistent efforts secure the  longevity of the program and is not pre-determined by the  condition of the town budget. 

The show must go on! 

ELVB Needs You 

We have a variety of ways you can be involved in helping to raise money for our ELVB. There is  something for everyone at all levels of involvement.  Instead of having a bunch of small fundraisers (no sales of wrapping paper will occur), we only have a few that have proven year after year to be successful.

Please look over our list of fundraisers on the following pages. Then, decide which tasks best  match your volunteer style. A sign-up sheet will follow so that we may begin planning for the  upcoming year.
