What is Tag Day?

Tag Day is a cherished tradition for the Fairfax High School Band Program, where our talented band students and dedicated volunteers canvass the community to seek donations. This event not only raises vital funds but also fosters a sense of community and school spirit as students interact with residents and share their passion for music.

How Tag Day Benefits Our Program and Students

The funds raised during Tag Day are crucial for the continued success and growth of our band program. These contributions help in several ways:

• Instrument Purchase and Maintenance: Ensuring every student has access to high-quality instruments is a priority. Donations help purchase new instruments and maintain existing ones.

• Uniforms and Equipment: From sharp-looking uniforms to essential marching band equipment, your support helps us present our best at performances and competitions.

• Travel Expenses: Competing and performing at regional and national events is an invaluable experience for our students. Donations cover travel costs, allowing more students to participate.

• Instruction and Clinics: Bringing in expert clinicians and providing additional instruction enhances our students’ musical education and performance skills.

• Scholarships: Financial support for students who need assistance ensures that all students, regardless of their economic background, can fully participate in our band program.
