An adult community group I'm involved with now runs a silent auction each year as part of one of its recurring events. The band could run the auction before a concert and during intermission (if there is one). Donations are secured from local businesses. The auction is so popular it actually brings in more people to the regular event just so that they have a chance to bid on the items in the auction.
Here is an article that describes at a high level how it's done -> http://www.wikihow.com/Run-a-Silent-Auction
Marching Band fundraising ideas
Moderators: Classitar, pied_piper, Phineas
We do a silent auction every year at the band concerts. And at the football game we did a raffle; the raffle was a success and I hope next time it will be even better. I was wondering if the band hosted a special concert and put an ad in the paper if anyone would come; we could ask for donations. Anyone think this might work? Please keep posting your wonderful ideas! Thank you so much!
