Analy Band Wagon

About Us

Our Mission

The Analy Band Wagon provides financial and human resources needed to help the Analy High School Band and Orchestra Program achieve consistent excellence.

Due to limited funding from the state, the ABW currently provides more than 50% of the funding necessary to sustain the instrumental music program at Analy. This includes the Program Coordinator's salary, new instruments, coaches, new uniforms, subsidizing instrument repairs and reeds, and much more. The continued success of the Analy Instrumental Music program depends on the generous donations from the community. It is with much pride that the program has grown 330% since the ABW's inception.
