The year will be over in just a few short weeks, but these last few weeks are packed! We have: A General Booster Meeting, and 8th Grade Parent Orientation Meeting, the annual Band BBQ, Band Dinner & Awards Night, Band Prom, a Spring Concert, and a Coke fundraiser! WOW!!

Band BBQ – May 3, 2018

Band BBQ packets were distributed to students on Tuesday & Wednesday, April 10th & 11th. Have you seen them? If you have not, please ask your student. If they have not picked up their packet, please ask them to see Ms. Dothard first thing Monday morning! Many local businesses are happy to support our band program during BBQ time, and they look for our students, so don’t be afraid to ask! Remember, for groups of 10 or more, we are happy to offer local delivery, and it’s a great selling point!

Students selling all 30 of their tickets will be entered into a drawing to win one of several prizes offered this year for top sellers, some of which includes:

• Trojan Band Shoppe gift certificates ($50, $30, and $20)
• Trojan Store gift certificates ($50, $30, and $20)
• Band Lot parking space
• $50 off Fall Marching Fees
• And more!

So sell, sell, SELL and keep selling! If you need more tickets, please see Ms. Dothard.

Don’t forget! Packet turn-in night:

• Thursday, April 26th from 4:00 pm until 6:00pm in the Band Room.
• Packets may also be turned in during 8th grade parent orientation which begins at 6:30pm in the band room.
• All money, checks, and any unsold tickets should be returned at that time. Please also provide a list of any promised delivery groups, delivery details, and contact information for the day of delivery!

Please plan to join us to help on Thursday, May 3rd, BBQ Day! It’s such a fun day!

Charms sign-ups will be made available very soon!
