From the Director:
Dear Kirkwood School District Band Supporters,
I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Matthew A. Banks Director of Bands, and I am writing to you
on behalf of the Kirkwood School District Band Program. We are proud to be part of a vibrant community
of musicians, parents, and educators dedicated to nurturing the next generation of talented performers.
The students in our program demonstrate incredible passion, discipline, and teamwork through their
commitment to excellence in music. As you may know, the Kirkwood School District Bands not only
perform at school functions but also represent our community at regional and national events. Our
students learn life skills through music, such as leadership, perseverance, and cooperation, all of which
help prepare them for bright futures. However, maintaining such a high level of excellence requires
substantial resources. Our needs include new instruments, sheet music, uniforms, travel costs for
performances, and ongoing instrument maintenance. Unfortunately, school budgets can only cover a
portion of these expenses, and this is where your support can make a significant impact. We kindly ask for
your help in sustaining our program and providing our students with the tools and opportunities they need
to continue their musical journeys. Your tax-deductible donation—whether large or small—will directly
benefit band students from 5th through 12th grade students and help keep our Kirkwood School
District Band program thriving.
Here are some ways your contribution can support us:
- $50 can help purchase sheet music for upcoming performances.
- $150 can assist in covering travel costs for Festivals, events and rental fees.
- $500 help fund scholarships for students in need of lessons.
- $1,000+ can go toward purchasing new instruments (we specifically need Bassoons, Percussion, 4 valve
Euphoniums and Tubas) for our growing program.
You can make a donation by sending a check payable to **Kirkwood Band Boosters ** at the address

consideration of this request and for your ongoing support of the Kirkwood School District Band program.
With your generosity, we will continue to offer enriching experiences that will shape the lives of our
students for years to come. If you have any questions or would like more information about the Kirkwood
School District Band program, please do not hesitate to contact me
