this year’s marching season. My phone

Snack Wagon - The band parents donate snacks for the band
members after each contest. Individual
packaged cookies, chips, crackers, pudding with spoons, non
melting candy, Twinkies, and Ding Dongs are all popular items. These snacks are collected in the
band room and packed to be loaded
on the buses for each contest. Coolers
with water and pop are iced down the night before or the day of the contest
which are also loaded on the buses. Someone
is needed to pick up the water and pop and ice them down, package snacks, load
snacks and drinks on the buses, and then set up and put away the snacks at each
contest.
Patrons of
Instrumental Music – This is a new fund raiser for the instrumental
program. We will be soliciting donations
from local businesses, past, present band members and area residents for this program. We will need someone to keep a running record
of the donations and send thank you notes.
Script Program
– This is a fund raiser program for the band.
Band members will be selling script similar to gift certificates for
different restaurants, services, and goods.
Someone will be needed to keep running record of sales and mail scripts
to our customers.
Senior Video
– Each senior is asked to submit 3-4 pictures for the senior video, created by
Mr. Paul Blair, to be shown at the band awards program in November. Someone is needed to keep track of the
pictures, submit the pictures to Mr. Blair, and then return the pictures to the
senior band members.
Spirit Activities
for District, Regional, and State Competitions - We decorate the band members’ lockers before
these three competitions and make signs to be placed along the route to these
competitions. Help is needed to create
and hang the signs for the lockers and the posters. The locker decorations and posters are done
during the week before each of the competitions. The signs for the bus route are placed along
the route the day of the competitions.
You will need to leave before the band leaves for these competitions.
Cell phone, ink,
and laser jet recycling – We collect and earn cash for them. Someone is needed to promote this program and
collect the cartilages, phones, and mail them to CKA Associates. There is no cost to mail these items. The postage label is printed for you on
line. There is no cost to the band.
Concessions
- The band boosters sell concessions at all home freshmen, junior varsity, and
varsity football games. Workers are
needed for each game to grill hamburgers and hotdogs and man the concession
stand.
Concession Clean
Up – At the end of the football season, the concession stand is cleaned
and all supplies are stored until next season.

each competition. Color guard members
