BUTTON FLAIR - MJHS, BOG, BAND FUN, AND SPOT ON AVAILABLE
If you have placed an order for buttons, please remember to make your payment. They can be paid via cash or check in the white box in Mr. Cox’s office or Givebacks. Checks should be made out to Mt. Juliet Band Boosters and the memo item should include your student’s name and a note that the payment is for buttons.
CHECK OUT THE FULL SELECTION OF BUTTONS HERE - there is still time to order
FAT HEAD PAYMENTS
If you ordered a fat head for your band student, your $30 payment is due now. You can make your payment via Givebacks under miscellaneous (please include a note during checkout) or via check payable to Mt. Juliet Band Boosters. Please use the memo line to note the payment is for the fat head and include your student’s name.
PROP PAINTING
The props need a fresh coat of white paint. We are looking to do this on Tuesday, September 9, at 6:30pm, since the band will not be rehearsing. With enough hands, this will take less than a couple of hours. The board will be meeting so board members will not be able to assist. If we can get 4-6 people, they can bang out a couple of coats quickly. This is time that can be counted toward volunteer hours. Please email mjbogboosterpresident@gmail.com if you can assist.
MUM FUNDRAISER
The fall mum fundraiser is currently underway until Tuesday, September 16. To up the stakes, Mr. Cox has tasked the ban with a goal of selling 600 plants.
Available in gorgeous fall colors (yellow, bronze, purple, white, and red), the plants will be delivered to Mt. Juliet High School on Tuesday, September 23. Families will be responsible for picking up their plant orders that day. The vendor always provides healthy plants that are wrapped so once you remove the plastic, they cascade down into the beautiful flowers you see in the order form.

SAVE THE DATE - BEAR CRAWL FUNDRAISER
We’re bringing back a fundraiser favorite! On Saturday, September 27, the band will be bringing their awesome beat to the streets. Our family’s first exposure to the Band of Gold was when they did a Bear Crawl through our subdivision. We were hanging out inside when we heard a band and rushed outside. The band was marching through, collecting donations along the way.
Our fundraising chair, Stephanie Hall, will be providing a full update on Thursday evening at the Booster Meeting. In addition to marching through three local neighborhoods, Stephanie also has some fun stuff planned for the students at one stop. We are excited to share more on Thursday.
