Fundraising:
This year we have not done well on fundraisers. I know it is difficult but we have to start doing better. We need EVERYONE to participate in these and to sell or get donations. How is it fair for the students who do not contribute to reap the rewards?
We will begin our calendar fundraiser on May 13th. This calendar will help you pay for your necessities for the season. Once you have reached the minimum amount then it will go towards your band fees. If you do not NEED everything on the list then once you have what you need covered then it will go towards your band fees. Go ahead and start thinking of people who would be willing to donate and help you out!
We will begin our Peach and Boston Butt fundraiser at about the same time. I know this is tough to be running 3 fundraisers at the same time but we need to make sure to put in every effort for these.
