Support Our Bands

There are many ways to help support the Chantilly Music Program and all of our bands. The CHS Music Boosters have many fundraising activities throughout the school year. Each fundraiser serves as an opportunity to help raise funds for the benefit of the Chantilly Music & Band program.  Successful participation in our fundraisers helps to offset the cost of the program’s operations, including but not limited to sectional coaches, instrument/equipment purchasing, facility rental and transportation, and special events.

All fundraising efforts benefit the CHS Music Boosters group which supports Chantilly Band, Choral and Orchestra.

Ongoing Fundraisers:

Mighty Marching Chargers Photo Fundraiser

From the hard work in the parking lot in August, to the adventures on the road to competitions, to the bittersweet moments of senior night and the last football game in November, a cadre of photographers is documenting the MMC season. All proceeds from the sale of these photos support the band. In addition, hundreds of photo gift – prints, cards, buttons, mugs, keychains, iPhone cases – are available for purchase with all profits supporting the band.

In the 2024-25 school year, we are transitioning from Zenfolio to Smugmug. Details we sent via email to band families.

Corporate Matching (Benevity)

Employer matching gift programs allow you to team up and combine your employee benefit and donation to make a greater impact. If your employer matches gifts, your donation can be doubled or tripled to nonprofit organizations, like CHS Music Boosters. Please check if your employer participates in gift matching through Benevity Causes, or another program.
