Quarter "Halftime" Show Performance
Please spread
the news that the band will be performing the entire
field show AFTER Friday night's football
game, followed by a fireworks display. (They won't
be able to do the full show during actual halftime
because it is Senior Night) Please plan to be there
to watch and cheer for the Band as we count down to
the Indianapolis trip!

FUND RAISING OPPORTUNITIES
As you see from the schedule - there are a number of trips the
band and guard is participating in this year. There are multiple
fundraising opportunities to assist with these costs. Current and
ongoing opportunities include:
-
 Trash
Bags - White, Yellow, and new JUMBO Blue rolls of trash bags
are a very successful way to add to personal trip accounts.
Rolls of trash bags sell for $10 and $3 of every roll goes
directly into the student's personal trip account. Need an easy
form to take orders - here's a new
simple one. When you have as many orders as you're ready to
fill - tear off the bottom section, place it in the envelope
inside the band room door for Carrie Moore - and she will fill
the order and leave it for you by the bulletin board. You can
continually sell trash bags all year long.
- QSP Reader's Digest Magazine
Sales - Didn't work as hard as you would have liked to on
the first of the year concentrated magazine sale? You can still
benefit from QSP Magazine sales. Click on the banner below, or
on the square banner at the bottom of the events calendar or the
Links page - you can order magazines directly through those
links - entering the student's name that the sale should be
credited to when the order is completed. It is a secure shopping
site - and students receive 40% of the sales credited to their
trip accounts.
