Band roots run deep in Sun Prairie

From the Sun Prairie Cornet band in the 1860s, to the many jazz and concert bands, to the Cardinal Guard and the Sound of Sun Prairie, bands and music education have been a vibrant part of life in Sun Prairie for generations. This proud tradition of excellence would not have been possible without the strong financial commitments and encouragement of many forward thinking individuals and businesses in the Sun Prairie community.

A Foundation of support

On July 15th 2002, the Sun Prairie Band Boosters created the Sun Prairie Band Foundation, a separate non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring the long-term success of band music education at Sun Prairie High School. The Foundation aspires to encourage private donations and bequests that will be used for special program and scholarship needs that go beyond the normal operating expenses of the Band Booster organization.

June 30, 2004, on the occasion of Bernie Powers' retirement from teaching band at Sun Prairie High School, the Sun Prairie Band Foundation changed its name to the Bernie Powers Band Foundation in honor of Mr. Powers' distinguished 26-year career as an accomplished educator, dynamic band director, and inspiring mentor to hundreds of students in Sun Prairie.  Bernie Powers consistently taught the values and behaviors of respect, hard work, self-discipline, leadership, acceptance and quest for personal excellence.  Bernie Powers’ mission as a teacher will serve as inspiration and has become the mission of this foundation.

There are many ways to give
