The Lion Pride Band and Guard programs have been continuously developing since Fort Zumwalt East's founding in 2007. The Band supports several ensembles, each of which has quickly grown in success. Our goal statement "Passionately pursuing excellence through integrity and unity" has led us to push our skills to the next level and form long-lasting bonds as musicians and friends. We will ardently continue teaching students the values that this statement embodies.

We have several financial needs as an organization, and this is where we depend on you...the families and friends of our students and Band.

The two greatest needs are:

1) Our students have nominal, but required and equitable, fees that help us make the program special for each student . These fees go toward food and drink at marching competitions, marching shoes, music, etc. 75% of the monies you give through GiveButter will be a personal and directed gift to be applied to the student's fees of your choice with the remaining 25% being a donation to Lion Pride Boosters to be used for general Band operating needs, equipment needs, or special projects benefitting all students.

If you wish to gift a dollar amount to a specific student without donating to the Lion Pride Boosters, you may bypass GiveButter and send a check to:

Lion Pride Boosters

PO Box 772

Saint Peters MO 63376

Please include the student's name in the memo field so the gift can be applied to the correct student fees account.

If you choose to continue with GiveButter, when you advance toward check out, you will be prompted for the student's name. This can be left blank if you do not wish to gift directly to a student's fees account and want all monies to be donated to the Lion Pride Boosters.

2) Our electronic equipment (speakers, synthesizer, sound board, computer, software, cables, etc) is a decade old and needs to be replaced. We estimate this cost to be over $25,000. Any donations made to the Lion Pride Boosters may be used toward the electronics need or other Lion Pride Band and Lion Pride Guard needs as deemed appropriate by the Lion Pride Boosters and Directors.

We are grateful to each of you, our Community, for your generous gifts and donations.

With much respect and appreciation,

Lion Pride Band, Lion Pride Guard, Lion Pride Boosters
