One thing I know enough of is the fact that being in guard is EXSPENSIVE!!! Just having a high school guard is expensive and just thinking about how much independent groups put into there shows is even worst, but I got help for you guys. These are 8 things I know for sure will help any group with money problems.
food Sales
People Love Food!!!! So why not sell food to the people. Things like homemade bake sales, selling plate dinners, and other food fundraisers will definitely help your guard raise any amount of money to pay for things your guard needs.
Showcases
With showcases, you can not only charge for admission, but as well get your guard out in the public eye. Also, you can charge other guards to come and perform for a small cost too so you can make all the money possible.
Clinics
Clinics can be suitable for guard members and people who want to do guard. If you can make it at a reasonable price for everyone to go , I'm sure you can make some amounts of money for your guard. All you need is a gym and a instructor to manage it.
company work
There are a lot of fast food restaurants and local businesses who will donate 10% of the cost of each sale to the group in need of fundraising if they help work and sell their products. If you call and ask around, I'm sure there will be one looking to help.
business sponsors
With running a business, you have to contribute in some kind of charity or fundraising work so when its time to file their taxes, they will get a tax deduction for helping a group. This is where your team comes in, if you can gain a sponsor, not only will they help your team, but also you will help that company with branding and getting there information to people.
fundraiser parties
Almost everyone likes a party, so why not throw a party and charge people to get in and it can be in any type of party your team wants it to be, like an elegant masquerade or some kind of rave, just get people to come and charge them to come in.
Patreon
Patreon is a crowdfunding platform popular with YouTube content creators, musicians, and artists. It allows artists to obtain funding from their fans or patrons, on a recurring basis, or per artwork. With patreon, people can pay to help you continue your work monthly by paying a certain amount of money and with this comes perks where they get things from you guys depending on how much they donate monthly
Catalog sales
With catalog sales, you can actually sell things that people want and get money back!! A lot of band programs sell them so, you may have done it yourselves to help raise money for your band fees, or spring trip.
