Grove City High School Band Fall Bazaar

If Grove City High School Band is known for anything – it is their amazing music program, their high energy at any event they attend, and their seasonal bazaars. GCHS hosts two craft bazaars in the spring and fall. These events serve just one of many fundraisers that are hosted to keep their members supplied with all of their needs for a successful band season. Admission is a small fee per day or you can buy a weekend pass. At the bazaar, you will find over 250 vendors that offer anything from handmade goodies to services you may need for your home. Breakfast and lunch are also served each day and are made from scratch by band parents. Need we say more?
