Feed The Band

On game days that do not fall on a student holiday, students do not have much time between the end of class and when they must report back to school for inspection and pre-game rehearsal. Food is not permitted on the buses or at the game, so the only opportunity for students to have a meal before the game is in this small time window. One option is to bring food packed from home.

The KCBA provides the other option, the Feed the Band program, which provides students the opportunity to purchase a meal for game days. The meal will be paid for in advance, and a KCBA volunteer will deliver it to them at school after the school day ends and with enough time to eat before rehearsal starts.

On Registration Day, students and parents have the opportunity to pre-pay for game-day meals for the season ($63 - optional - 2026 price). Meals typically include a sandwich, chips, cookies, and a bottled water. The vendor may vary but typically includes Chick-Fil-A and Raising Cane's.

Meals may also be purchased on a week to week basis by having your student bring $9 CASH ONLY to school the week of the game by 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday (for Thursday night games) or Wednesday (for Friday night games). Place the money in an envelope with the student's first and last name and "Feed the Band" on the outside and have your student deposit in the KCBA box on the wall outside the band office in the band hall.

Note: There are some contest-day meals that the KCBA provides to all students with money from your dues. Those meals are not optional and don't require any other payment. But we may still refer to them as "Feed the Band."
