Why Jazz & Java?

The Liberty Blue Jay Band Boosters are a 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity that provides financial support to the Liberty High School Band and Guard program. The Boosters assist with costs not typically included in the school district budgets. Our annual fundraising event, Jazz & Java, will be held on April 13, 2024. Our goal this year is to raise $10,000 to be used towards travel costs for competitions and performances. We raise funds through ticket sales, silent auction, raffle and donations.
