Support the NVOT Marching Band

The NVOT Golden Knights Marching Band is a group of hard working individuals that come together each year to perform a field show in competition and at football games. One of our largest fundraisers each year is our annual Saturday Knight Lights Marching Band Competition which was supposed to be held on Saturday, September 23rd. Due to Tropical Storm Ophelia, this year’s competition had to be canceled. The band was hoping to raise close to $10,000 at this competition this year. 

These marching band students learn about commitment, teamwork, responsibility, and more throughout their participation. The band has achieved many accolades over the past couple of years including earning the 2021 US BandsState Championship title and the 2022 US Bands National Championship title. Due to their success, the band has been promoted to the highest level of competition in the US Bands circuit: Open Class. With this promotion comes additional costs and expectations that we were hoping to raise money for at our competition. With the cancelation of our home competition, we don’t want to lose the opportunity to make this our best possible season!

Some of the expenses that we will still have for the upcoming year include:

• Materials to build large scale props

• Additional sound design and equipment for our new upgraded mixer

• Increased competition costs

Everyone in our community who has been a part of the NVOT Marching Band knows that it is a special group of students. With your help, we hope to provide them with the best experience, equipment and show possible for the 2023 season!
