Bari Sax 2: Electric Boogaloo
Mid America Freedom Band and Might Mo Jazz Orchestra are about to take things up a notch! We're on a mission to jazz up our tunes and we need your help to snag a brand-new, shiny bari saxophone!
Picture this: smooth, sultry saxophone melodies weaving through our music, adding that extra 'wow' factor to our performances. But we need your support to hit the right notes!
Join our sax-a-thon and help us bring the house down with the coolest sax in town. Your generous donation will help us hit those low notes and keep the good vibes flowing in our band.
General Donations
It takes a lot of money and hard work to keep a multi-faceted musical group like this going for over a decade. Fortunately, MAFB is blessed with a group of generous donors who believe in our mission and support it with cash and in-kind donations. Some of these donors are the Band’s own members and their families and friends. There are also donations generously made by our audience members, as well as businesses large and small. Several large corporations with gift-matching programs also grace our donors’ list. To make your tax-deductible donation online to the general operating funds, click the “Donate” button.

SONG SPONSORSHIP

INSTRUMENTS NEEDED
If you have an instrument that you have no need for, the band has many people who may be in need of an instrument. Many large instruments are too costly for an individual instrumentalist to own. All instruments are welcome.
