San Marcos Bands & Color Guard News

Need holiday gifts? 

We are excited to introduce an opportunity to help support the band and get some of your holiday shopping done.  We have several items left over from our Jazz in Havana event that we are making available through 32Auctions. 

There are items such as gift cards to restaurants as well as experiences (laser tag, SkyZone, Murder Mystery, etc.), goods (golf items, backpacks, etc.) and services (chiropractor, Equinox gym membership). 

All proceeds will go toward paying our amazing coaches!  Did you know that our yearly budget includes over 90K for coach salaries?

We have two links because there are so many items! 

To check out mainly gift cards and certificates go to:

For services, baskets and goods go to:

Items will be available to pick up at the Winter Concert on Dec. 11.  If you need an item sooner, please email us.  If you have questions about any item just let us know.

We are signed up again to do water station for Carlsbad marathon on 1/15.
Here is the link for volunteers to sign up.

Amazon Smile: 
Now that marching band season is over, we will still need to fundraise in order to continue to pay for our coaches as well as fees and equipment.  We are also coming into the holiday season and have a great way that you can help us fundraise without having to pay anything from your pocket.  Amazon will donate a portion of what you purchase to the band.  We have received hundreds of dollars in the past from our band families using Amazon Smile.
