The Band Advancement Fund

Make a spirited impact.

When you visit the "Make a Gift" button at the top of this page and make your gift on or before March 26, you'll help support the Appalachian Bands!

Gifts to the Band Advancement Fund help the Marching Mountaineers continue to represent App State with spirit, excellence, and tradition. These resources ensure students have reliable instruments and equipment, keeping North Carolina’s Band of Distinction ready to perform.

This fund supports the Marching Mountaineers and band program needs, including instrument repair, instrument purchases, and other immediate expenses.

This Giving Day, the Bands Alumni Network is rallying around a specific need for the program: replacing aging sousaphones. Gifts to the Band Advancement Fund will help us put new sousaphones on the field so our students can play with confidence, great sound, and pride in the tradition you helped build!
