Fairfield Band Aides still accepting cans/bottles

Donations raise money for local band programs

The Fairfield Community School District Band Boosters organization (Band Aides) wants to remind everyone that they are still accepting cans and bottles to raise money for the instrumental band programs. All cans and bottle donations can be dropped off anytime at the FHS Band trailer parked in the FHS parking lot. Please drop off donated cans/bottles in clean, plastic garbage bags or a similar type of bag. Proceeds from the pop can drive will be used to help fund the FHS band trip to Florida in 2021.

'It's a small thing, but when everyone is participating in the can drive, it makes a real big difference,” said Aaron Adam, band director at Fairfield Community School District.

Fairfield Band Aides is comprised of a 12-member Board of Directors and numerous parent volunteers supporting the FCSD band directors and their programs. Money raised is used to fund student scholarships for music camps and band trips, purchase equipment and instruments, including recent upgrades to the FHS marching band drumline, much needed brass instruments at FMS, and brand new marching band uniforms in 2017. Band Aides also collects used instruments to be refurbished and distributed to music students in financial need.

Fairfield Band Aides is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the instrumental music programs within the Fairfield Community School District since 1999.
