Why Support BINGO?
In short, BINGO is:
Fun
Profitable
An easy way to support our band community
Bringing in an average of $45,000/year, this program makes a huge impact to our band program:
Offseting student fees for marching band
Purchasing new instruments, sound system, and a trailer for the marching band
Purchasing new color guard flags and uniforms
We are grateful to the many students and families who have committed an incredible amount of time to help BINGO run smoothly! However, we need additional families to step up and volunteer.
These are the roles that our parent volunteers fill:
Cashier
Bookkeeper
Pickle Bar Manager
Games Manager
If you are interested in learning more and getting trained for any of these positions, please contact the Band Boosters Secretary at gmhsbandboosterssecretary@gmail.com. The more people who are trained, the less frequently each person needs to work, so please consider volunteering today!
Each week, students are expected to volunteer at the Pickle Bar. Their section nights will be communicated by the section leader and on SportsYou.

About BINGO
About BINGO
Every Monday night, GMHS Band Boosters host a BINGO session at Slammers Bingo. This is an ongoing fundraiser for the band program and we invite everyone to join us!
Key information:
Doors open at 6 pm; bingo games begin at 7:30 pm. Sessions usually last about 2 hours.
It is cash only. We cannot accept credit cards, Venmo, or anything else.
Must be 18+ to purchase games and collect winnings but anyone age 8 and above can play. Each player must have their own receipt.
There is a $12 'buy-in' and then each bingo packet is $1.00. So you can play for as little as $13.00! There are also electronic bingo card machines.
BINGO games:
We play 7 BINGO games each night. Each has their own design such as Lucky T, Diamond, and Blackout with varying payouts ranging from $100 - $1100.
All games except the progressive are double action, so there are 2 numbers per square instead of 1. This increases the chances of winning as either number called in that square earns that box.
Game 6 is our single action progressive game. The progressive game carries over money from each session until someone gets BINGO with 50 balls or fewer - a prize worth several thousand dollars! If no one wins after 50 balls, the game continues and the winner gets a consolation prize of $200.
When the progressive pot has grown large enough, the organization will do a "must go" night. This means that no matter how many balls it takes to get a winner, they will win the entire amount of the progressive.
The Pickle Bar: The Pickle Bar provides players additional opportunities to win at BINGO as well as play other games. Here players can buy additional game sheets for "special" games, side games, and pull tabs, which vary each session.
