Volunteer at the East Syracuse Fireworks

We need your help to make our concession stand a huge success on July 11th! Sign up for one or both shifts and serve your community with great food and drinks while enjoying the area best fireworks show! Both adults and students needed. Click the button below to sign up!

General and Student Fundaising is vital to our success!

Without General fundraising, our Marching Arts Groups would not be able to travel, get uniforms, props, and many other things that require funding. We're always looking for fundraising ideas too! So if you have any, feel free to attend a monthly booster meeting and let us know! (see calendar for booster meeting dates).

Student Fundraising is equally important. Every dollar you raise in your student account is that much less that is needed to go on trips! Many students fundraise throughout the year to cover the full cost of their share of the annual band or winter group trips.

Band Boosters

The East Syracuse Minoa Spartan Marching Band and Winter Guard Booster Organization, Inc. or, "Band Boosters" for short is a 501(c)(3) Organization. Our purpose is to create and develop public interest in, and provide support for, the activities of the East Syracuse-Minoa Spartan Marching Band, Winter Guards and Winter Percussion Ensemble. The Boosters normally meet on the first Thursday of every month at the High School, usually in the Library and parents are encouraged to attend these meetings. Exact dates can be found on our calendar.
