Tag Day Drivers Needed
Students preparing for Tag Day 2025.
The band’s most important fundraiser of the year is starting this weekend! For two Saturdays in a row—August 22nd and August 29th—the band students break into small groups, fan out, and place an orange tag on nearly every door inside Hayfield Secondary’s school boundary, inviting our community to support the band. The donations received during Tag Day fund the basic operations of the band, from specialized instructors to instrument transportation to contest entry fees.
To make Tag Day a success, we need parent or guardian drivers and breakfast donations! Please use our Sign Up Genius to let us know you can drive one of the 22 routes with the students and/or donate breakfast items. We need drivers and donations for both Saturdays. Driving a route is a lovely way to meet the students in the band—you’ll have three or four new marchers to cheer for this season!
Students and drivers meet at the Band Room at 7:45 a.m. both days to get their routes and prepare for the day. Most routes are complete by lunchtime. Drivers traditionally take their groups out to a local restaurant where students purchase their own lunches before returning to the band room.
