The Onalaska Band Booster Organization is dedicated to supporting the Onalaska High School Hilltopper Band.  The band consists of approximately 110 students.  Students perform in both Marching Band and Concert Ensembles and many students also voluntarily participate in Pep Band, Jazz Ensembles, and Show Band.  In addition to these regular activities, band members often also perform at community functions such as the Freedom Honor Flight’s Welcome Home and Reunion events, Rotary Lights, and Steppin’ Out in Pink.

Each spring we host our annual Onalaska Jazz Festival (formerly known as the Big Band Ball) event.  This event historically includes five hours of jazz music, a nice meal, and an online auction fundraiser.  The 2023 online auction will run from Wednesday, April 19th at 7:00am Central time and conclude on Saturday, April 22nd at 7:30pm Central time.  Thanks to the continued generosity of our donors, we will have some great items to bid on!  You can find out more about our donors by clicking on their logo at the bottom of this site!

We will continue adding new items as we approach the start of the auction so be sure to check back regularly!

Please note that you must be 21 years of age or older to bid on or win any packages that contain alcohol, or 18 years or older to bid on or win any packages with lottery tickets.  

Winners will need to be able to pick up items in Onalaska.  Shipping is not an option.  Any winning bidders, in person at the Onalaska Omni Center, may pick up their baskets at the event after the auction ends and after completing payment through the online bidding site.  Any winning bidders, not in person, are asked to complete their payment through the bidding site by 11 am Central time on Monday, April 24th. Baskets can be picked up in the Southwest end of the Onalaska High School parking lot (near the skate park) from 5:00pm - 6:30pm on Wednesday April 26th or Friday April 28th.  If these times do not work, you will need to work with the silent auction coordinator to work out a pick up time.   

Please note that since this is a fundraiser, all sales are final.
