SUPPORT THE BAND

Fund the Music. Fuel the Legacy

The WHS Chaparral Band is recognized as one of the top high school music programs in the nation. Keeping it that way takes more than talent — it takes community support.

36%

STAYS LOCAL

Here's something most people don't know: Eanes ISD keeps only 36% of every property tax dollar it raises. The other 64% is sent to the state through Texas' Recapture law — funds Eanes will never see again. That means the Chap Band operates at a significant funding disadvantage compared to other top programs in our class. Year after year, WBPs step in to bridge that gap.

IMPACT

WHAT WE FUND

Westlake Band Parents (WBP) is a 501(c)(3) all-volunteer booster club founded in 1976, whose sole purpose is supporting the student band musicians of Eanes ISD — a program that includes a 188-member marching band, 3 concert bands, 2 jazz ensembles, 3 full orchestras, and an elite color guard, with UIL "Superior" ratings for 30+ consecutive years. 100% of every dollar you give goes directly to the kids.

WBPs funds essential expenses that Eanes ISD and participation fees don't cover, including:

CHARTER BUSES & TRAVEL

UNIFORMS & PROPS

SHOW DESIGN & MUSIC

SPECIALIZED INSTRUCTION

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

COMPETITIONS & EVENTS

All donations are tax-deductible and eligible for employer matching.
