3rd Quarter Refreshment Donations
Don’t forget your donation!
During the third quarter of football games, our band students take a well earned break and enjoy cookies and a drink. This year, we’re making it easier for band families by taking cookie and soda shopping off your plate.
We kindly ask each student to donate $10 toward third-quarter refreshments. You can Venmo Beth, our event lead, directly @bethguth (last 4 of phone: 6329)
Thank you to all the students who have already contributed to the fall fun and as always, Go Firebirds!
All About the Red Bag
Students only need their red bags when they’re wearing their uniforms. Such as during dress rehearsals, football games, competitions, picture day, senior night, and similar events.
All uniform pieces that students keep with them should be stored in the red bags. This includes shoes, gloves, shako, parka, black crew socks, and any personal items they may need.
For All Things Uniforms, please review “Wearing the Uniform” on our website here.
Picture Day was a huge success THANKS to our amazing photography team, uniform crew, and all the volunteers who dedicated their time and effort on Monday evening!
All photos will be posted to our Flicker account after the editing process is complete. The panoramic print is available for purchase at $20 Here; please note that it is not available for digital download.
While our digital photo platform is free for everyone to enjoy, we kindly ask those who are able to consider a $5 donation to support our Flickr subscription and help our photography team continue their tradition of excellence. Flickr allows you to “favorite” photos and curate a collection of your favorite Marching Firebird(s), while enjoying and sharing memorable moments from each season.
Thank you for your continued support of our band program!
Volunteer Opportunity : Band Uniform Lead Volunteer
Our band program has an urgent need for a Uniform Lead, and the good news is most of the hard work for this season is already done! That means you’ll be stepping in at the perfect time to handle the easier tasks and this will be a great opportunity for you to lean more about the roll and prepare for the next season.
It’s a truly rewarding role. You’ll witness the excitement and pride on each student’s face as they step onto the field looking their absolute best!
So… who’s ready to join this fun and energetic volunteer group?
If you’re interested or would like more information, please contact president@lakotawestbands.org or finance@lakotawestbands.org
A heartfelt thank you to all our amazing uniform volunteers, We couldn’t do it without you!
