Split the Pot Volunteers are very much needed for all home football games! We only have 4 people signed up to sell Split the Pot tickets at Friday’s Game against Glen Oaks! Split the Pot helps raise money to support all our band programs. Sign up for one football game, or sign up for them all! Where else can you wear a funny hat, a cute apron and talk to your friends and neighbors while you sell tickets individually or by the arms length! CLICK HERE to sign-up via Sign-Up Genius. All sales are completed by half time – so you are free to watch the band at half-time.
41 More Drivers Needed for Tag Day! Tag Day is September 12, 2015 this year from ~8:30 until 1pm. Tag Day is the band’s biggest fundraiser; proceeds go primarily to our uniform fund. This allows us to replace the marching band and concert band uniforms as needed. Please:
1) Mark your calendar and make sure your student attends Tag Day. Section grouping with highest participation percentage will be treated to a celebratory pizza dinner prior to the September 18th Home Football game!
2) Volunteer to drive for Tag Day! If you drive, your student and at least one friend will ride with you on your route (unless they choose not to). We try to keep you as close as possible to your home neighborhood, and you learn lots of interesting things…..Your role is to transport the students to the designated route, keep an eye on the students working your route – they will be in pairs – and transport them safely back to Lakota West. CLICK HERE to sign-up to drive for Tag Day on Sign-up Genius. First drivers to sign up will be given preference for their home route.
