Band Camp & Away Game Meals Chairperson - Gayle Baker
For Band Camp Week:
Plan and acquire food to feed the band during band camp week to include one snack and lunch each day. Lunch is served at noon in the school cafeteria. The budget for lunch during band camp is $7000. Drinks are bought on sale or at Costco or Sam’s Club. The snacks during band camp are served around 10:00am in or near the band room. We also try to get some snacks donated from Kroger and WalMart. The rest is picked up by a band booster with a Costco or Sam’s Club membership. The budget for snacks during band camp is $350.
Meals for Away Football Games:
Band dinners for away football games are served at 3:30pm. The meals have been arranged with different restaurants including: East of Chicago, Donatos, subs from Wal-Mart, and Chik-fil-A. Some additional shopping is done at Costco or Sam’s Club for drinks, desserts and side dishes.
