Planting a tree for every rifle sold
Band Shoppe has teamed with One Tree Planted to plant one tree for every Ultra Spin wooden color guard rifle sold! Trees clean our air and water, create habitats, contribute to our health and well-being, and create jobs for social impact. We’re honored to do our part to help reforestation with One Tree Planted to create a more sustainable future.
HOW IT WORKS
Simply put, $1.00 = 1 tree planted.
Starting in 2022, Band Shoppe will donate $1 for every Ultra Spin wooden color guard rifle to One Tree Planted. One Tree Planted pools donations with others to grow and monitor planted saplings to ensure that they live to their fullest potential. These trees help to restore forests in the wake of major wildfires like those in Paradise, California, repair damage caused by industry and resource extraction, and even support the endangered Orca of the Pacific Northwest. One Tree Planted has been able to plant 40 million trees around the world since starting in 2014.
OUR COMMITMENT
At Band Shoppe, we’re committed to protecting the environment and conserving natural resources. We ship your order without printed packing slips in corrugated containers made from recycled materials. All catalogs print on Forest Stewardship Council-certified paper with fiber from forests that adhere to strict environmental and socioeconomic standards. You can find out more by visiting our Social + Environmental Responsibility statement.
ABOUT ONE TREE PLANTED
One Tree Planted, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, dedicates itself to global reforestation. They plant trees to restore nature and biodiversity. They also raise awareness about the importance of trees, offer businesses like ours a simple sustainability solution, and motivate younger generations to do something positive for the environment.
SPIN SUSTAINABLY
From the beginning, we knew we wanted to create a wooden rifle that could not only stand up to the rigors of a color guard performance but was also environmentally friendly. We found that Poplar was the most obvious choice. It’s lightweight and strong while also being one of the fastest-growing trees in the world making it also one of the most efficient trees in terms of sustainability. Poplar is excellent at purifying the air by capturing CO2 and helps purify water by acting as a green filter, absorbing nitrates and sediments.
Shop the Ultra SPIN
We proudly offer the Ultra Spin series of wooden color guard rifles in three popular sizes. Perfect for performers at every skill level. Crafted from the finest kiln-dried solid Poplar for strength and balance!

Shop Strapping Tape
Protect your investment – We highly recommend using Strong Nylon Filament Strapping Tape to reinforce all wooden rifles and drumsticks before adding decorative tape to help guard against breakage.
