Please pick up your tickets to sell for the November 8 Uno’s Trucksgiving DoughRaiser at Tuesday night’s concert!  The event is a festive celebration of our band program at Uno’s Chicago Grill off Mulhauser Rd and Union Centre and features an All You Can Eat Buffet, performances by multiple Lakota West Band groups, facepainting, celebrity bartenders, and more! During the DoughRaiser, the Uno’s owners partner with our volunteers to run the restaurant for a day and share all the profits.  All proceeds will go towards our new Marching Firebirds Tractor and Trailer and the external wrap of the trailer.  This is the 2nd of only 3 big fundraisers this year that require help from a significant number of band parents and students. Please help by:

  • Selling tickets in advance:  All students will be asked to sell 6 tickets to the DoughRaiser.  Tickets will be distributed for presale at the October 6 Freshman and Red/White/Winds Concerts.
  • Volunteering for a shift the day of the event:  100+ student and adult volunteers are required.  Volunteers will be able to eat for $5 and receive an Uno’s Doughraiser T-shirt.  Sign-up Genius will be out in early to mid-October.
  • Supporting your student in performing for the event:  More details to come on performance groups and schedules.

 

PattyBurger Taste of Music:   The next Taste for Music fundraiser will be held on the weekend of October 23, 24 & 25 at PattyBurger located at 9220 Allen Road, West Chester, OH 45069.  CLICK HERE for printable flyer to bring with you and 20% of your purchase will go to support the Lakota West band program that weekend.

 

Congratulations to the Marching Firebirds on their outstanding performance at the OSU Shoe this last weekend and to all our Seniors from Senior night!   Senior photos are up on the website for about half the seniors already!
