Hello band family! This is our first Newsletter of the year. Expect multiple newsletters, at least 2 per month.
Have you completed our CHECKLIST and seen our WISHLIST? We need items, please :)
The past 5 weeks have been dedicated to getting our intermediate and advanced students ready for football events, getting beginners started on reading band music and playing their instruments, and...
We launched our Falcon Band FUNdraiser! In 1 week, we raised over $3,000, wow! We still have more to do if we are going to surpass $10,000. Did you know that the band spends at least $10,000 every year on food, supplies, and trips? All without collecting fees directly from students.
Announcing NEW prizes!!:
Raise $150 = $10 gift card AND a goodie bag
Raise $700 = pie Mr. Gray in the face at the Boo Bash!
Raise $1000 = pie Ms. Boltz in the face at the Boo Bash!
We have about 160 members in band, and 43 have registered for the FUNdraiser (THANK YOU!). If the remaining folks register and raise $75 each, we will reach our goal of getting over $10,000!
I wonder what we can do together as a team. Please keep going! CLICK HERE to sign up for the FUNdraiser. Make sure you send your personal link to 10-15 trusted friends/family members.
