Winter Dinner Dance & Silent Auction - February 2
The Winter Dinner Dance, "Spin the Night Away" along with the Silent Auction is fast approaching. This is a wonderful family event showcasing our talented Jazz Band musicians, and it is a big fundraising event for the band. The band directors are asking students to bring an item to donate for a themed basket for the silent auction. Each band section has a basket theme, but these are simply a guide. YOU MAY DONATE TO ANY OF THE BASKET THEMES BELOW.
Trombones, Euphoniums and Tubas: Game Night Basket (favorite games, puzzles, popcorn, candy, etc.)
Flutes, Oboes, Bassoon and Bass Clarinets: Local ATX Basket (Products unique to ATX, sauces, jewelry, art, candy, etc.)
Percussion: Summer Basket (Summer band items: water thermos, paint pens, apron, drawstring bag, Pool/Beach toys, beach towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, water balloons, etc.)
Soprano Clarinets and Saxophones of all types: Movie Lovers Basket (Favorite movies, Oscar nominated movies, movie ticket gift cards, popcorn, snacks, etc.)
Trumpets and French Horns : Valentine Basket (anything related to Valentine's Day, wine, spirits, chocolates, jewelry, candles, candies, anything heart shaped, etc.)
Additional basket themes to contribute to: Camping Basket, Maroon Spirit Basket and Coffee and Tea Basket.
If you will choose to donate at least one of the following, it will be a huge help:
1. Re-gift/Donate a Christmas present that's not quite your style, or isn’t something you need. Do you have an item at your house that's just like new that you rarely or never use? Consider donating it!
2. Send us your unwanted baskets! If you have baskets around your house that can be used to build a basket fora donation, please consider donating it!
3. Gift cards! We are still collecting gift cards for dining out and for places that you like to shop, as well as other gift items and spirits.
4. Section Baskets! Send something for one of the section baskets...regardless of what instrument your kids play.
Feel free to email Donata Garvey at donatagarvey@gmail.com for any questions regarding donations. Please leave items in the donation box in the uniform room. If you have wine or spirits, DO NOT bring to school. Contact Donata so she can arrange for a time to meet or pick up the item. Her number is (512) 731-9328.
Thanks for your help and support!
