Dear [Administrator's Name],
​
I am writing to propose the purchase of a new band tower for our school. As we continue to prioritize the safety, security, and overall experience of our students and staff, it has become increasingly clear that the current tower is no longer sufficient. Below are several key points justifying this important investment:
​
-
Safety: It is challenging to put a price on safety. Recent reports of injuries resulting from poorly constructed towers, affecting both directors and the children in their care, highlight the urgent need for a well-designed structure. Our liability requires us to limit exposure to "attractive nuisances" like old, unprotected towers. Prioritizing safety is paramount, and the new tower will include locking enclosures, anti-access panels, and caution signs as standard safety features.
-
Multiple Uses: The tower would serve not only the band but multiple school functions. We could host tournaments, use the tower as a press box, and provide judges and coaches with a unique perspective, enhancing the overall quality of events held at our school.
-
Enhanced Security: In an era where security is becoming a top priority, the new tower would enable our security staff to monitor the entire parking lot from one vantage point, significantly improving our ability to ensure safety across the school grounds.
-
Video and Photography: Sports officials and yearbook photographers would greatly benefit from the ability to capture footage and photos from an elevated perspective. This adds value to our athletic and extracurricular programs, contributing to the overall excellence of our school.
-
School Spirit: A well-built tower lifts the spirits of those who use it and serves as a source of pride for the entire school. It also reflects positively on our music and athletic departments, symbolizing a well-organized and smoothly operating environment. We offer options to enhance school spirit further, such as logo panels and flag sockets.
-
Property Values and Neighborhood Relations: Our current tower, detracts from the aesthetic of our campus. In contrast, a new, professional-looking tower would enhance the overall appearance of our school and could potentially encourage our buildings and grounds department to contribute financially to this attractive addition.
Given these compelling reasons, I believe the purchase of a new band tower is a prudent investment that will benefit our entire school and community. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this proposal further and explore how we can move forward with this project.
Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
