RVMB is aiming to raise $20,000 for the purchase of a new sound system. A good sound system is a critical part of every modern instrumental music program, and RV's is at the end of its life. We are seeking monetary donations to purchase new speakers, wireless microphones, a new sound cart for our mixing board, and related peripherals.
We’re soliciting donations through Colorado Gives, beginning in summer 2025, with the goal of purchasing the new sound system before the 2025 marching band competition season.
AUGUST UPDATE: We've raised enough money to buy new speakers! Thank you to everyone who donated! We're still hoping to raise enough money to replace the rest of the sound system as soon as possible.
Our Hospitality co-chairs have created a Wish List on Amazon! Use the QR code to access our wish list, and help us feed our hungry students during the marching band competition season.
In 2024, we served:
350 breakfasts
425 lunches
340 dinners
150 snacks
Countless juice boxes!
These fundraisers raise money to support all RVMB programs. Please join us in supporting these hardworking instrumental students with much-needed funds!
Let someone else do the cooking and support Ralston Valley's Instrumental Music program in the process! We're holding a monthly Mustang Music Monday fundraiser, where the profits from sales at local restaurants are donated to the RVMB general fund.
On Monday, September 22, join us at Panera Bread (64th and Yank location in Arvada ONLY) in support of our instrumental music students! More info coming soon through CutTime.
