The Springdale Bands are thanking the Springdale community for their tremendous support by offering 1,000 free car washes this day.
Donations are welcome in two ways:
1. Donations made at the car wash will be split among all Springdale Bands.
2. Donations given to an HMS Band student will go directly to the HMS Band program. Link to donate online. Checks can be made to "HMS Band."
Proceeds help our band students with financial need meet their needs so that they can follow their dreams of learning how to play a musical instrument.
It will also help our band program purchase 1 or 2 expensive instruments that will be used for more than 40 years. It will also help fund any field trips and fun events for our band this school year.
