Good afternoon band families!
We have to give a huge shout out to all of our students, directors, and parent volunteers that helped with yesterday’s Mile of Money event, it was a HUGE success! We were able to raise $3,741.96! In comparison, last year we only performed at King Soopers and raised around $1800. So thank you so much for everyone’s participation!
Tomorrow, we will kick off our online fundraising campaign. Last week, your student was given a sheet to collect contact information from 25 people. Please check with your student to see if they were able to get all the information they need. The campaign will kick off tomorrow, we are hoping to raise $60,000. We can only achieve that goal with your help. This is a great way for any family or friends that are near or far to support the band. This year, our goal is to purchase a new sound system, ours is in DESPERATE need of replacement, and this campaign will help us achieve that goal. Please remember that our budget this year is $153,270.00. The band fees that you pay only cover 44% of that number, we have to raise the remaining amount. If every student has 25 contacts that can give $17, we can reach our goal of $60,000, so please help us find those contacts.
If you pre ordered a swag bag at the Show N’ Tell, they will be ready on Friday. We will label them if your student would like to grab it after rehearsal on Friday.
