Re: Fundraisers
Our team runs a battle of the bands event at our school twice a year. Usually in early December and late May. We've got bands from the school (a requirement for various reasons that at least one member must be a student in our school).
It's a fair amount of work, but honestly little overhead. The school provides the venue and the sound system. The bands bring thier own instruments. Our costs are usually related to things like t-shirts for give aways and sales, some costs for refreshments at intermission, and prizes for the winners. We run between 5 and about 8 bands.
We average between $2000 and $2500 a show depending on expenses and how many people show up.
PS: If anyone happens to be in South Jersey next weekend, this Spring's show will be May 31, 6 (I think) to 11pm in the Performing Arts Center at Rancocas Valley Regional High School in Mount Holly, NJ.
