Dunwoody High School Band Selling Over $10K of Items in Auction

Does bidding online to support a program at Dunwoody High School sound like music to your ears? It might if you knew a one-week timeshare or passes to Disney theme parks were at stake.

The Dunwoody High School Band began its annual silent auction Friday, selling more than $10,000 worth of items donated from local and national establishments.

El Azteca, Farm Burger, Nathan’s Driving School and a number of other local businesses donated gift cards and services to the auction, but there are some big name items up for grabs, too. Bidders can win a Schmidt Idol electric guitar and stand or even four One-Day Park Hopper Passes to Disney World.

Amusement parks and musical instruments not your style? The auction also includes certificates for everything from karate classes to tuxedo rental and salon treatments. Browse the band’s complete collection of items in their online auction here.

Running through Nov. 24, the auction is a major fundraising campaign for the band program at Dunwoody High School. Proceeds go toward costs for band camp, game day meals and scholarships, as well as replacing aging instruments in need of repair.

The event is in its third year and organized by the Dunwoody High School Band Boosters, a certified 501(c) charitable organization.
