Weekly Update August 16th

Good afternoon band families!

The students did such a wonderful job at Mile of Money yesterday. We ended up making over $3,000 which is a new record!

Here is what is happening this week:

Monday 8/17:

Rehearsal from 3:30-5pm.

The students will kick off the Play it Forward Fundraiser. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and our goal for this year is $60,000! We need to purchase some new front ensemble equipment and work towards buying new drumline equipment and we would like to use this fundraiser to help with that. The students will be calling family and friends during Monday’s rehearsal to ask for donations. If you have people that you think would donate, please give their contact information to your student.

Also on Monday

We will be taking pictures for senior banners at 5pm. If you would like your student to have a senior banner, please purchase it by midnight tonight using the link below. The cost is $70 per banner. We have a professional photographer coming on Monday.

Senior Banners

Saturday 8/22:

Rehearsal from 8am-12pm

Please make sure that your student attends the Saturday morning rehearsals. These are so important as the students continue to learn drill and music. The band’s first competition is one month away, these rehearsals are very helpful as they get ready for that competition.

Rapid Fundraising Reminder- 25 Contacts for Tomorrow!

Hi Marching Hawks Families! A quick reminder that our Play It Forward Fundraising Blitz is tomorrow from 3:30–5:00 PM!

The most important thing you can do tonight is help your student come prepared with at least 25 contacts. Students who enter 25+ contacts have significantly more fundraising success and extra incentives and prizes during the fundraiser, so family participation here can make a HUGE difference!

I’ve attached the contact worksheet again to help brainstorm names. Please also give your contacts a quick heads-up today that your student will be calling tomorrow between 3:30–5:00 PM about supporting the Marching Hawks. That advance notice can greatly improve response rates.

Thank you for taking a few minutes tonight to help your student get ready. Our goal is $60,000, and it will take all of us working together to get there!

25+ contacts → Heads-up today → Calls tomorrow!

Director Update

Director Update Aug 13th

Hello Marching Hawks Families!

We have a  big fundraising weekend ahead, followed by the launch of our  Play It Forward- Rapid Fundraising Blitz on Monday! 

Here’s what you need to know:

Mile of Money this Weekend: 10:00 AM-12:00 PM

Students will be performing pep band music and collecting donations from our community at two locations:

  • King Soopers- 136th & Colorado: Meet near Subway
  • Lowe’s- 136th & Orchard: Meet on the south side of the parking lot in front of the store

Students have already divided themselves between the two locations, so  please check with your student to make sure you know where to drop them off.

Friends, family, neighbors, and community members are welcome to stop by, hear the band, and support the Marching Hawks!

Play It Forward Fundraising Blitz, Begins Monday @3:30-5:00 pm!

Our biggest online fundraising push begins Monday, with a goal of raising  $60,000 for the Marching Hawks!

Families: your biggest job this weekend is to help your student build their contact list. Please use the attached Contact List Worksheet and work together to identify  at least 25 people your student can contact. Think grandparents, extended family, family friends, coworkers, neighbors, former teachers/coaches, friends’ parents, and anyone who has enjoyed watching your student perform.

Students who prepare 25+ contacts raise significantly more, and parents can make an even bigger difference by giving those contacts a quick  heads-up before Monday that their student will be reaching out.  The students will be calling between 3:30-5:00 pm. 

Our $60,000 goal directly helps us  keep marching band fees as low as possible while continuing to invest in our students and program. Last year’s incredible fundraising efforts helped us purchase our show shirts, upgrade our sound system, and purchase new instruments. This year, we’re focusing on  new front ensemble equipment, working toward a new drumline, and continuing to upgrade our marching instruments for the future.

This weekend’s family homework: help your student get their 25+ contacts ready for Monday! 

Don’t forget:

Peach pick-up will be this Saturday after Mile of Money, from 12:15-1:15 pm at Horizon. Look for the truck with all of the peaches on it!
Yes, you will receive a list of who ordered from you, so you know who to deliver the boxes to!

Thank you for helping make these opportunities possible for our students. When everyone participates, even small donations add up to a HUGE impact.

-Mr. Dailey

If you recognize any of the names below as someone who would have purchased from you, please let me know as soon as possible. I have texted them, but have received no response. Thank you!

Hey everyone! I received notification from the orchard this morning that they have had to close our fundraiser early today. Sounds like the entire valley is running out of peaches, and they want to make sure that they get all of our orders packed today to ensure everything gets taken care of. Please apologize to anybody who tries to order and is unable to. Hopefully we are able to do this fundraiser again next year, it seems like it was a successful one for our group!

Peaches update!

Just a reminder that tomorrow, Wed 8/12, is the final day for peach orders. Make your final push tonight to get those boxes sold!

Peach pick-up will be this Saturday after Mile of Money, from 12:15-1:15 pm at Horizon. Look for the truck with all of the peaches on it! I will get a final order list on Thursday, and will post on the BAND app who has orders that will need to be picked up. If you have a lot of orders, I will reach out to you individually so you can be prepared to bring a big vehicle or make multiple trips.

Yes, you will receive a list of who ordered from you, so you know who to deliver the boxes to!

Please reach out to me here on the app or send an email to hhsbpafundraising@gmail.com if you have any questions!
