Tag Day Coordinator

Tag Day is the biggest fundraising event for the Pride of Herndon Band. Donations collected on Tag Day are split 50-50 between the student accounts and the band. These proceeds can be used for future expenses such as concert fees and the Spring Trip. To bring in those donations, all HHS  band and guard students, dressed in their band or guard uniforms, walk door-to-door in their neighborhoods asking for contributions. The students travel in groups of two or no more than three and hand out the hangers with information about the band and with the concert schedule for the band (hence the name -Tag Day) while asking for contributions. If no one is home, the students will leave a Hanger that has a QR code and instructions for donations. Students can also send contribution requests to relatives and friends.
