Blues & BBQ is a banquet and auction event. It is the largest fundraising event for the Olathe Northwest High School Band program, run by Olathe Northwest students, with assistance from parent volunteers. Over 3,100 businesses & sponsors have supported this banquet since its inception over 20 years ago, many of whom attend this event each and every year, along with many other community leaders and distinguished guests.  

Blues & BBQ is also the biggest opportunity for students to raise money for their individual band accounts. High school band students can earn money by bringing in items for our silent or live auction. Students will earn 60% of the selling price for items they bring in for the auction. Please see our Auction Packet for ideas on securing donations for these items. Students can also work shifts before or during the event and earn an hourly wage.
