Madison High Marching Band Fundraising for Trip to Atlanta

The “Pride of Vienna,” otherwise known as the James Madison High School marching band, is preparing to represent Fairfax County in a regional competition in Atlanta in October.

But in order to get there, the band needs some help. In conjunction with the Madison High color guard, the marching band is holding its annual Tag Day on Saturday, Sept. 12, as a fundraising effort for the trip to Georgia and the upcoming football season.

Tag Day consists of chaperoned students going door-to-door in the Vienna and Oakton communities to solicit donations and thank community members for their support. The money will help the band pay for equipment, travel, competition fees, supplemental instruction and other associated costs.

The competition in Atlanta is called Bands of America Super Regional, and more than two dozen marching bands will be in attendance. These bands hail from Texas, Florida, Ohio, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Missouri, Maryland, Virginia and Georgia.

If you’d like to make a donation to the Pride of Vienna, feel free to mail contributions to:
