In the wake of the heartbreaking tragedy involving the Elmore family, we have been deeply moved by the overwhelming outpouring of love, compassion, and support from our community and band programs across the nation.

So many have reached out asking how they can help, and we are incredibly grateful for the kindness and generosity shown to the Elmore family during this unimaginable time.

-Legal and funeral expenses associated with this tragedy.

-An annual scholarship established in the Elmore family name to honor their memory and make a lasting difference in the lives of future students.

-A memorial garden dedicated to celebrating and remembering the Elmore family and the impact they have made on our community.
