🎼Welcome to the 17th Annual JET Band and Color Guard MarchAThon!!🎼

This is our biggest and most exciting fundraiser of the year!

Each year the talented students of the JET Band and Color Guard take to the streets for MarchAThon - a high-energy, music filled community event that fuels the heartbeat of our program.

What is MarchAThon?

MarchAThon is our annual marching fundraiser where the JET Band and Color Guard march approximately 5 miles throughout the local feeder pattern—stopping at designated Community Stops to perform for families, neighbors, and supporters.

These Community Stops are perfect opportunities to experience the music live, connect with our incredible student performers, and contribute to their fundraising goals.

Whether you’re a parent, friend, local business owner, or music lover, MarchAThon is your chance to get involved and show your support for the arts right here in our community.

Why it Matters

Running a successful band and color guard program takes more than passion - it takes community support!

Funds raised help cover essential costs including:

• Instruments and repairs
• Uniforms and equipment
• Competition travel and fees
• Show design, props, and instruction
• Student scholarships and assistance

Every dollar supports our 2025 - 2026 season!
