Over the last two years, many of you generously participated in supporting the Annual Pride Picnic and member stipends provided during WVU band camp. The Pride members and staff have been extremely grateful for your support and thoughtfulness.    

We are reaching out to you once again to help support the Pride members during band camp 2024! Our goal this year is to provide each member with a $15 stipend. We have organized a section challenge for our members to help collect donations for the picnic and monetary gifts for each member. Any amount you can give is greatly appreciated. 

Below is a list indicating how many stipends are needed for each section of the band. Even if the stipends in your section have all been covered, please consider donating so members in other sections can receive a stipend too. 

Sections include:

• Piccolo - 34

• Clarinet - 37

• Alto Sax - 35

• Tenor Sax - 22 - FULLY PAID

• Mellophone - 16

• Trumpet - 59

• Trombone - 34

• Baritone - 15

• Sousa - 26

• Drumline - 32

• Drum Majors - 4

• Colorguard - 31

• Feature Twirler - 4

Total - 349

If you would like to make a donation for the picnic to help offset the cost of the supplies, we would be very appreciative. You can donate to the member stipends or picnic by going to our Contribute page. Please select “Stipend” or "Picnic" and let us know which section to apply your donation to in the comment box.

Section challenge updates will be provided at our website (www.wvualumniband.org).

Thank you for your continued support of The Pride!
