Every year, the Bel Air Music Department participates in an out-of-state trip and competition. To defray the cost of the trip for students, we raise funds by selling advertisements in a program book handed out at Music Department events.

In 2025-26, the ad book:

• Will be distributed at 10+ concerts and community activities open to the public and school community, reaching an estimated 400+ patrons per performance (printed and/or digitally)
• 50% of the cost of each ad will benefit the student selling the ad, and 50% will be donated to the BAHS Music Boosters

Information for students selling ads

The BAHS Music Directors are planning a trip for the Music Department for the 2025-26 school year. Details for this trip will be shared once the school year starts. The Music Boosters are offering a variety of ways to fundraise to pay for our anticipated trip, including this ad book fundraiser.

Why Sell Ads

50% of every ad you sell will go into your trip account, including if your family places an ad. See our trip account and fundraising policy for the fine print. The other half will go to the Music Boosters to cover program printing costs and support the BAHS Music Department through equipment, supplies, sheet music, and more.

How to Sell

• Download a PDF of our printable community ad book flyer (tip: print it double-sided), and be sure to write in your name before handing out! 
• Ad sale dates for the 25-26 school year are September 2 - September 22. 
• Students have successfully sold ads to business owners their family knows, student's employer or parent's employer, family and friends, and by "cold calling" or walking into businesses. In 2024, one student paid for the entire Williamsburg trip by selling ads.
• We strongly encourage music department students to start selling ads as soon as possible to give you the best chance at raising money to help pay for the cost of your trip.
