BED SHEET FUNDRAISER HAS KICKED OFF!
Let's SELL SELL SELL!
1) This sale ends on 9/28, so please start advertising! You can use any of the graphics below for social media! You will turn in order forms and money on 9/28 and you will deliver the sheets after they arrive to the band room a couple of weeks after we place our order.
2) Students are NOT encouraged to go door to door for safety reasons, and aren't allowed to do so without a parent present. ALL information must be taken on your customers the first time you talk to them so we can make sure we can contact them, so it helps if you know them personally. Please make sure your student is being safe (and taking orders properly!).
----> CHECKS (to "DMS Bands") MUST ALL INCLUDE 2 PHONE NUMBERS & 1 DRIVERS LICENSE NUMBER TO BE SUBMITTED!
3) Profits acquired by students who are attending the spring band trip can attribute that amount toward trip payments - all others go to the band fund as usual. Don't count on using those funds for the first two or three payments, we will cut a check for these after the fundraiser ends. We are raising money as a band program to buy new music, new music stands, new instruments and update our current equipment!
4) We have given out ORDER FORMS, a SAMPLE SWATCH for the sheets (for feel and color) and the one pager you see below.
5) Students should have written the prices on their order forms. If not, please do so.
Let us know what questions you may have!
Participants with total sales of 10-19 sets of bed sheets will receive a $10 credit or a $10 Walmart Gift Card. Participants with total sales of 20+ sets of bed sheets will receive a $30 credit or a $30 Walmart Gift Card.

Beginner Band
Playing Test
They had the option to record themselves and submit to Schoology like the Con/Sym classes, or they could play it live for the teacher/class if they hadn't submitted anything by Friday. We just wanted to let you guys know that your kids are doing a GREAT job and we are so proud of them for practicing and submitting these quizzes!
A procedure reminder:
Here are band's daily operating procedures with regard to instruments:
- Students can only bring their instruments to the band room once the 8:05 bell rings.
- They have until 8:15 to drop their instruments off before the tardy bell!
- Students are not allowed to leave their last block class to come to the band room early - UNLESS they're in the STEM building for their last block class. Please remind students to think through their week and ask his/her teacher if they can leave early. We currently have TOO MANY students leaving early from last block when they don't need to.
