Parent Chaperones

We are in need of 2 parent chaperones this Friday and on March 5. Details are on the sign up genius for each date. It is during the school day so we are struggling to find volunteers. If you are available, please consider signing up.

Fundraisers

• Our Calendar Fundraiser is going strong! 100% proceeds go back to the student.

• The Strawberry Fundraiser has begun. 75% of profits go back to the student. Please sale, sale, sale!

You can find all the information you need about these fundraisers here.

Swag Shop

ALL winter group tshirts are now in the swag shop! A small portion of sales come back to the band, so please purchase a tshirt to support your winter group. Plus it makes it easier to recognize our groups in the stands!

Can Donations

I don't know if you noticed our Aluminum can cage next to the dumpsters recently, but it was overflowing. Thank you everyone for dropping off your cans with us! And thank you Amanda H. for arranging to take them to the recycling center. We raised almost $400! Keep those cans coming!

Please be sure to take cans out of bags before placing in the cage.

BOG Booster Board

At our next board meeting, March 19, we will begin asking for Booster Board nominations for the next school year. In April, we will vote for the next booster board.

You can find job descriptions for all of the board positions on the band website. 

The boosters is 100% run by band parents. You are just as important to the band as your student. If you are passionate about the band program and making sure it is successful, please consider joining the board next school year. 

If you don't think you can commit to a board position, we also have multiple committees such as the uniform committee, fundraising committee, prop construction, tote-n-tow, chaperone committee, meal committee, event planning committee, and concessions committee where you might find your fit.

Fundraisers

We are kicking off 2 fundraisers this month to help students pay their band dues! Participation is never mandatory, but it is a great way to help with dues, and we strongly encourage students to try their best. 

• February Calendar Fundraiser - Click on the image to download and share on social media. We will hand out physical copies at the booster meeting on Thursday.
• Any student that fills out all dates on the calendar (does not have to include bonus days) will get to attend an ice cream party in celebration of their participation. Date TBD.
• The 14th and  16th are holidays, and we are asking to students to "double down" on those days and try to double the date's worth (i.e. $28 on the 14th and $32 on the 16th).
• Turn in calendar fundraising money by March 1 via check or givebacks. 
• Share online, take to church, text family members - this fundraiser is great because anyone anywhere can donate! 
• Filling out the basic calendar can earn students over $400 towards their dues! Filling out the entire calendar WITH bonus days can earn students over $800!!
• This calendar is separate from the drumline calendar - the drumline calendar funds will go to drumline for their trip to Dayton in April. Drumline students are welcome to participate with this calendar if they want to. 

 

• Strawberry Fundraiser - It is strawberry season! This is one of my favorite spring semester fundraisers. Click here to download the strawberry flyer. We will hand out physical copies at the booster meeting on Tuesday.

• All details about the fundraiser are on the flyer. We will have a digital version on Facebook soon that you can share.
• Orders are due FEBRUARY 25, and orders will arrive March 4th. All orders must be submitted online here.
• 75% of profits from strawberries goes back to the students. 
• Every large flat sold = $11.25 to the student
• Every half flat sold =  $7.50 to the student
