Patrons
The Wakefield Band Patrons is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting and supporting the band program at Wakefield. If you are a parent or guardian of a band student, you are automatically a Patrons member!
The Patrons were founded in 2014, and we work hard with students, families, and staff to support and strengthen our fantastic band program. We look forward to 2025-2026!
