As a proud member of the Viper Vanguard Involved Parents Support Team (VIPS), I am excited to share with you an incredible opportunity for our talented and dedicated students in the marching band.

This year, the Verrado High School marching band has been invited to perform in Paris, France—an opportunity that promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for our students. This trip is not only a chance for our band members to showcase their musical talents on an international stage but also an opportunity for cultural enrichment and personal growth.

Our band is more than just a group of musicians; it is a community where students learn discipline, teamwork, and the value of hard work. Many of our students come from diverse backgrounds, and for some, this trip may be their first opportunity to travel abroad. Experiencing the rich history and vibrant culture of Paris will undoubtedly broaden their horizons and inspire them in ways that will resonate throughout their lives.

However, organizing a trip of this magnitude requires significant financial resources. We are reaching out to community members and supporters like you to ask for your help in making this dream a reality for our students. Your contribution will directly support travel expenses, accommodations, and cultural activities during our stay in Paris. Your generosity will ensure that every student who wishes to participate can do so, regardless of their financial circumstances.

By supporting the Verrado High School marching band, you are not only investing in their musical education but also providing them with an experience that will shape their future. Your donation will have a lasting impact on our students, helping to foster their passion for music and opening doors to new possibilities.

We are immensely grateful for any support you can provide. Your donation is tax-deductible, and any amount, large or small, will make a difference.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to support our students. Together, we can ensure that the Verrado High School marching band trip to Paris is an unforgettable experience that they will cherish for a lifetime.
