In 2025, the Columbus Music Boosters will be working to bring an increased level of patriotism along Farnham Street in front of Columbus High School by displaying dozens of American flags on four separate holidays throughout the summer: Memorial Day (May 26th), Flag Day (June 14th), Independence Day (July 4th), and Patriot Day (September 11th). With support from the Music Boosters, CHS Band and Choir students will learn proper flag etiquette by displaying flags at dawn and properly storing flags at dusk on each of the four dates.
Flag details
Each American flag will be 3 feet x 5 feet, displayed on a ten-foot PVC pole.
A tag (half sheet of paper, laminated) will be placed on each flagpole, indicating the donor's name along with a personalized message (in memory of, in honor of, etc.). Donors may choose to stay anonymous if desired.
Residents will be able to drive on Farnham and/or walk along the sidewalk to view flags and inscribed tags.
Both the contact information form and the Puchase (buttons below) must be completed to complete your transaction.
Step 1:
Step 2:
I'm in! How do I purchase a flag?
Simply complete 2 steps:
a short contact information form, which includes the option for your message or dedication, and
then complete the Buy transaction.
I missed the first round but I still want to participate! Do I still have to pay the $50?
Since this doubles as a fundraiser to help our students, the price will remain $50 for the time being.
What if it rains?
The flags are weather-proof and will be displayed "sun up to sun down" on each holiday.
Do I get to keep the flag?
No. We will store the flag with proper etiquette.
