Marchathon and Virtual Marchathon

Centaurus High School Marching Band is preparing for its 2025-2026 competition season, which means that our annual Marchathon is coming up soon. In August, the marching band will don their uniforms and “march” door-to-door throughout our BVSD-CHS “neighborhood” (over 10,000 homes).

Our band is a point of community pride, and the students work hard all day, meeting our neighbors and soliciting financial support! The Lafayette/Erie community always comes through in a big way for the Centaurus Warriors Marching Band, and it’s extremely important that every student participates in this fun (and essential) day of fundraising. Parent volunteers are always needed to drive and to serve lunch - information on how to volunteer will be communicated in mid-summer.

2025 Marchathon

The 2025 Marchathon was Saturday, Aug. 23 - but you can still give! If you received a hangtag on your door, you can mail us a check or put some cash in your envelope and give it to a band student to bring in (we don't recommend mailing cash). You can also give using our online donation portal. Thanks for your support!

Virtual Marchathon

During summer Band Camp, students will mail, email, tweet and tag friends and family living outside of Lafayette with this “virtual” appeal. The social media/letter-writing campaign extends our annual door-to-door Marchathon event’s reach beyond people living in Centaurus’ home area (Lafayette and parts of Erie).

Centaurus Band Boosters (aka 759 Club) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that provides critical financial and volunteer support to Centaurus High School Band Programs.
