Dear Community Member:

The 2015 award-winning John Jay High School Mighty Mustang Band is asking for your support. The Jay Band is a top-notch music program winning the 2014 People’s Choice Award and placing first in the San Antonio Battle of Bands Festival for 5A bands. The band also placed 2nd in the 2014 Battle of Flowers Parade and in the St. Mary’s Jazz Festival and 1st in the 2015 St. Mary’s Jazz Festival in addition to receiving the Outstanding Achievement in Jazz Performance. Varsity and non-Varsity bands both won Sweepstakes at the 2014 University Interscholastic League (UIL) Concert and Sight Reading contest. Several Jay Band members also participated in the John Jay Orchestra also winning Sweepstakes in 2014. A record number of 50 students advanced to the 2014 State Solo and Ensemble contest. In addition, several students were selected as members of the 2014 Drum Corps International (DCI) Drum and Bugle Corps.

This coming school year, 160 band and color guard students will take part in halftime shows, concert performances, and UIL music contests. In order to be successful, a program of this size requires not only parental involvement, but also strong support from the community. As a community business, you have the opportunity to join the John Jay High School Band Boosters as we work together to provide the funds needed to fully support our band and guard students. As a Booster organization, we assist the band through the donation of scholarships, instruments, marching equipment, student awards, event fees, transportation expenses and much more. The additional ‘boost’ we give to the John Jay Mighty Mustang Band helps our students be successful in their education which in turn provides a boost to our community’s future.

As a Sponsor, you will be recognized according to the sponsorship level you wish to donate. An additional benefit is your donation is completely tax deductible. We encourage you tosubmit the attached Sponsorship Agreement in completion along with your donation. If you are interested in learning more about community sponsorship opportunities you may contact us at or 210-722-0770. We appreciate your consideration of partnering with the John Jay High School Mighty Mustang Band Boosters and thank you for all you do for our school and our community.

Sincerely,

Anita Huddleston
