We are excited to be taking a trip to New Orleans in April, 2027. The trip will cost each student roughly $2,000, so we are asking for your support to help us participate in a 5 day trip full of music-making, culture, education, growth, and fun!

Although any amount is helpful, if you would like to "sponsor" some specific items, there are amounts listed below.

NOLA showcases some of the best music, food, history, and culture our country offers. This trip will feature many of the "must-do" experiences in New Orleans, including sampling and learning the local cuisine, taking in jazz concerts at the world-famous Preservation Hall and Frenchmen Street, a guided walking tour of the city, a dinner Jazz Cruise down the Mississippi on board an authentic steamboat, time to explore the French Quarter, guided tours of the Manchac Swamp and the Whitney Plantation, time at the renowned WWII Museum and the Jazz Museum - and more. We are also planning to perform along the banks of the Mississippi and participate in a clinic with the band staff at Tulane University! This will be a formative trip to remember forever and these students will only get this opportunity next spring!

All funds donated on a student's page will go entirely to the individual student whose page you have accessed. If you would like to go beyond and donate to a general fund to help other students attend this trip or make it more affordable for everyone, please use the "Donate to Main Fundraiser" link on this home page. We are also looking for business sponsors to partner with, so please reach out to Mr. King if you are interested in hearing more: kingm@whitefishschools.org.

The Whitefish Band Program is dedicated to giving students the opportunity to experience holistic growth as a person: musically, socially, emotionally, and academically. This trip is specifically designed to support all of these goals.

We could not engage in the wonderful opportunities our band program provides at Whitefish without your monetary support. Please know that no amount is too small. Your ongoing commitment to these students are truly appreciated.

Any amount raised over the cost of the trip stays with the students until they graduate and can be used for future band expenses!

Thank you for your support!
