Do you have an idea for a fundraiser?

What is Whip-Purpalooza you ask? We have had a few people ask us what this is! Whip-Purpalooza is the Hampshire Music Department's one and only main fundraiser of the year where they can really showcase all of their different ensembles for each group: orchestra, choir, and band. This is the only event that we ask our music students to sell tickets to the all day event and where we charge a price for this event. Each ticket is $10 and each student is encouraged to sell at least 10 tickets. The music department will earn $100 from that family if their student sells all 10 tickets. All of the money raised goes directly back to the music department. In the past, the money has been used for needed instrument repairs and equipment, new color guard uniforms, a portable sound system, electric violin and violas and other much needed items, to name a few.
This is a great way for the Music Parents to be able to help out our music directors and students by raising this money and give back to them so they can keep singing and playing wonderful music. The event is on a Saturday and food, snacks and drinks are also sold. It is also a great way for family members who do not live in the area, to come to this event and be able to see your child perform in all of their events all in one day. Once you pay for your ticket/wristband, you can come and go as you please as your child performs. It is truly a great event and for parents who do not get a chance to see some of the other groups through out the year, you can sit and listen to the others that you wish.
So please, consider selling your tickets/wristbands when they do come home from your student later in the spring so we can raise as much money as possible for this wonderful music department that we have here at Hampshire High School because as you know, we will not get any better directors that care for our children as much as ours does and we can give back to them and our kids to continue to help them make our program even greater!!
