Band members in Santa Rosa have worn same uniforms for 30 years

"The challenge was when I came here, and I saw the uniforms, I was like, ‘Whoa, these are old,’" said band leader Efrain Nava.

An online fundraising page shows the band has made it about halfway to its goal.The band teacher says students have been fundraising non-stop."The kids did a remarkable job," Nava said.
