This weekend, you may also see students in your neighborhood fundraising for Music Day. Held Saturday, Sept. 9, it’s a day for high school bands and music programs to raise money needed for travel, instruments and other costs. (McNary’s fundraiser is Sept. 23.)

Musicians go door-to-door to collect donations Saturday, but you can also donate to programs online or leave a check if you won’t be home. Each school has a band or music booster club, and donations to them are tax deductible.

You can donate to a school music program or learn more using the links below.
