Calendar Raffle
Calendar sales have started! We hope your student has been selling, selling, selling! Proceeds from the fundraiser help to offset the costs of the upcoming trips we have to Johnson City and St. Louis.
Students are asked to sell as many calendar entries as possible through August 22. Starting September 1, we will announce a winner everyday! The daily winner will receive $100 with Friday winners receiving $750 with the student seller of that ticket also receiving $100! The final Friday has a mystery total but more than $750! All names are returned to the pot for additional chances to win.
Raffle entries can be purchased on our website or with the paper copies that were sent home with students. Anybody, anywhere, can purchase and win! All winnings will be mailed so location does not matter! This is a great opportunity to get support from those out-of-town friends & family members.
All proceeds from the calendar raffle will benefit the Marching Band trips & various expenses.

Volunteers Needed
Band Camp – final days
Upbeat Club Meeting
Our Upbeat Club meetings are the BEST way to get and to stay informed! You’ll hear from our Directors, Exec Team & Committe Leads regarding all things band. Hear about upcoming events & trips, updates regarding the season/year so far, get questions answered, meet other parents and more. Although we will share about upcoming volunteer needs, there is NEVER any pressure! Our goal is to INFORM!
We hope to see all of our families on Thursday! Enter through the band room and if we are not in there, there will be someone or a sign directing you where we will be meeting, this time of year sometimes it’s the cafeteria, chorus room or The Hub.
