Why Tag Day Matters
Maintaining a high-quality music program comes with significant costs: instruments, uniforms, travel, competition fees, and sheet music. Donations ensure every student has the opportunity to participate in performances, assessments, and clinics throughout the year. In recent seasons, Wakefield ensembles have earned top placements across Virginia – including the title of Overall Best Orchestra in 2023 – showcasing both talent and community pride.
How Contributions Are Used
All Tag Day donations are divided evenly between the band, choir, and orchestra programs at Wakefield High School in Arlington, VA.
Funds raised will directly support:
– Sheet music, uniforms, and program essentials
– Travel to regional and state competitions
– Professional music clinics and workshops
– Instrument repair and replacement
Donations are welcome year-round and are tax-deductible.
