For over 35 years, the Vines High School Band has maintained a rich tradition of excellence, earning a reputation as one the one of the best high school band programs in Plano ISD. The Vines Band includes several performing ensembles: Wind Symphony, Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, Percussion Ensemble, Drumline, Jazz Ensemble, and Color Guard.
Our Vines Band Family is a place for everyone and every student has a vital role in the success of every performance. Students work hard as they learn discipline, pride, responsibility, confidence, and collaboration – qualities that students will employ well beyond their high school years. But they also have a lot of fun while building an invaluable sense of belonging and community!
We strongly believe the Vines Band Family is for everyone. As the school’s largest spirit organization, this year, we are committed to raising $5,000 through North Texas Giving Day contributions to help replace aging equipment, support students with need-based scholarships, and bring in clinicians to teach our students. In addition to supporting Vines, your 100% tax deductive contribution will help fund students of our two feeder band programs at Haggard Middle School and Wilson Middle School - totaling nearly 400 families!
As a Title I high school, the costs of maintaining and supporting the band program have continued to increase, while funding for valuable arts programs in our schools has decreased due to recapture tax that has significantly impacted our school district.
Funding shortfalls for our band program are raised primarily through Vines Band Booster fundraising efforts over the course of the academic year, making community support paramount to ensuring all students are provided an opportunity to participate in band and concert regardless of their financial ability to do so.
Support to help offset rising costs includes:
• Financial assistance in the form of scholarships for instruments and uniforms
• Needed supplies and services including bus transportation to marching band performances
• Replacement of aging equipment
• Providing available expert clinicians and off-site educational instruction to the students
• Financial support for our feeder school band programs at Haggard Middle School and Wilson Middle school – Nearly 400 families benefit from support provided to the Band Boosters!
