The Parent Group engages in several major fundraising efforts throughout the year. Funds raised through these efforts generally help to reduce the amount of fees that need to be charged to each student to participate in the program. All families are encouraged to participate in the fundraising activities by providing time, creative energy, labor, and financial support to the extent possible. We are always looking for new ideas! Current annual fundraising efforts include:

Westview Winter Classic The Parent Group sponsors a Winterguard and Winter Percussion competition at Westview High School during the winter months. The Westview Winter Classic is a major event within the Winterguard/Winter Percussion competitions of the NWAPA. It draws top Winterguard & Winter Percussion talent from throughout Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia in a day of music, dance, and pageantry.

Pre-show planning tasks include contacting local merchants about sponsorships, program prep and publishing, concessions planning, travel arrangements for judges. Day of show volunteers are needed for parking and traffic control, ticket sales, unit hosts, first aid, concessions, clean up, and many other jobs. |
