Is this your first time at Tag Day? Let us help you!
Tag Day is one of the biggest fundraising events for the Edison Bands!  On Tag Day, all Edison Band students dressed in school regalia walk door-to-door in the neighborhoods handing out flyers with information about the band while asking for contributions. The money raised helps fund music instruction, uniforms and instruments. Last year our students raised nearly $6,000 in just ONE DAY! That is a huge help for our band program and participants.
