Week of June 7

A huge thank you to all the parents and students who spent their Saturday morning helping the band! The car wash and yard sale at WWMS were a big success in large part to everyone that showed up to help. We appreciate you so much!

Fundraisers

We now have 3 band fundraisers under our belt for the fall marching season. I will announce our totals at our next booster meeting in July, but it's quite a bit less than what we had hoped for at this point. 

Unfortunately, we have seen fundraiser participation amongst families dwindle significantly over the years. It takes the entire band family to make a fundraiser a big hit. The more participation, the more money the band is able to raise, and the FEWER fundraisers we need to host. We try to stick to our big fundraisers (peaches, mums, strawberries) but when participation lessens, we have to look at more to do. Please consider participating in our future fundraisers for the sake of the band program.

 

 

 

Week of May 31

Thank you to everyone who helped out at the school last week with band meals and parent work day! Parent volunteers are 100% the backbone of a successful band program.

I think the first week of band camp was a big success. The kids seem super excited about the fall show and music. I can't wait to see it all come together!

Peaches

Our peach vendor has given us until the end of the week to put in our order so if you have any more sales to add, please feel free to add them to the online order form! Payment can be made on Givebacks.  

Orders will arrive June 22 and will need to be picked up between 5 - 7PM that evening in the band room. We cannot hold peaches.

Car Wash & Yard Sale

The band car wash and yard sale are this coming weekend! The weather is looking good (finally!) so hopefully we will have a lot of customers.

Both events are at WWMS. The yard sale begins at 7:30 AM and the car wash begins at 9 AM.
