CAN CHALLENGE

Did you know the band has a trailer in the high school parking lot to collect aluminum cans? The last time we emptied it, the band got FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS! All those soda cans (or anything in an aluminum can) are accepted so keep the cans and help the band! I am issuing a personal challenge to fill the trailer again by August 31. We will keep track of the trailer’s status and provide updates between now and then.

PEACHES DELIVERY

The peaches are scheduled for delivery on Monday, July 15 from 5:30 - 7:30pm. We cannot hold peaches at the school so they must be picked up. We are also looking for 5 parents to help with sorting and distribution. The time can be submitted toward the 25 hours of volunteering for the dues credit at the end of the season. If you can help out, please reply to this email.  

CAR WASH

The band’s next fundraiser is a car wash scheduled for Saturday, July 12 from 9:00am - 1:00pm at West Wilson Middle School. The kids had a blast at the last car wash and we raised more than $700. We are in need of both parents and students to sign up to help out. We will have all of the necessary items - soap, sponges, towels, etc. We could, however, use 1-2 more pressure washers if anyone would be willing to lend them to the band for the day. Here is a link to sign up: July Car Wash Sign Up

PROP CONSTRUCTION

Also on Saturday, July 12, we are in need of adults to help make the propa that will be used for the fall show, Spot On. We will have materials pre-purchased and two dads who have taken the lead on design. What we need now are hands who are willing to cut, drill, screw, and assemble the mini stages. 

END OF CAMP COOKOUT

Calling all families! The Booster Board is hosting an End of Camp Cookout for all parents and families on the last day of band camp, July 24. We will be providing the hot dogs and hamburgers and asking everyone to bring something to share. From 6:00 - 7:30 pm we will have time to mix and mingle. At 7:30pm, we will gather to watch the band’s final rehearsal of band camp and at 8:00pm we all get together (including students) to have desserts and slushy drinks to cool off.

SWAG STORE - NEW MERCH IDEAS WELCOME

The Band of Gold has their very own swag store filled with cool merchandise for students, parents, and families. If you have an idea for something that you’d like to see in the Swag Store, please reach out and let me know. 

FUNDRAISER - FALL SPONSORSHIPS

Obtaining sponsors is an excellent way to support the band and assist with paying dues. The flyer provides information about each sponsorship level and explains the promotion the band will provide in exchange. 50% of each level of sponsorship will go directly toward student dues. The deadline for forms, payment, and company logo is July 24. This is a firm deadline. Blank forms are available to be picked up in the band room. Click here for the sponsorship flyer.

NEW - FAMILY FACEBOOK GROUP

We have made a new family Facebook group for the 2025-26 season. This group is intended for students and immediate family members to help share important information throughout the season. If you are not already a member, we encourage you to join and please answer the questions when requesting access.
