2025 Jasper Band Notable Event Auction

To benefit the Band Programs of Jasper Middle & High Schools in Jasper, Indiana

Welcome and thank you for visiting this auction site, benefitting the Jasper Band Parents, Inc. Our organization is a certified 501c3 non-profit organization. All proceeds from this auction will directly benefit the programs of the Jasper High School Band Organization. Over 300 students participate in these programs grade 6-12, making it one of the largest co-curricular activities in the district. Participants improve their music skills, discover leadership potential, make new friends and most importantly, HAVE FUN!

Fundraising Goal

Our goal is to raise $30,000 between the Notable Event auction and donations, which would cover the remaining costs of the successful 2024 marching season in addition to providing some much needed funds to the Jasper Band Parents endowment. The endowment funds go directly towards "running the program" expenses for all Jasper High School and Jasper Middle School band and guard activities.
