First Aid Volunteers Needed

Band camp starts on July 19! Our students need volunteers with experience in First Aid to be on campus during the 9am – 8pm practices. There is no requirement for you to be there all day. We will take whatever time you can offer. Please contact Travis Sears. marchingbandliaison@fcbands.org

Wanted: Grill Masters

Would you enjoy lending your grilling skills for the band this fall? We are evaluating if there are enough volunteer grillers to prepare burgers and hot dogs for the students in October. If you are interested in grilling for the band, please contact our food lead, Melissa Kieper.

The Marching Flashes are going to Florida!

Fundraising

Car Wash and Raffle Fundraiser

FC Bands Annual Car Wash and Raffle Fundraiser will be held on Saturday, July 24 from 9am - 4 pm. The purpose of this fundraiser is Covid recovery. In the past school year, we lost most of our fundraisers resulting in a budget shortfall for needs-based scholarships and the general fund.


The car will be located to Chicago’s Pizza, Flashbacks and the high school. There will be two shifts: 8:30am – 12:30pm and 12:30pm – 4:30pm. We need parent volunteers to supervise each site. Also, we’ll need someone to sell raffle tickets. Student volunteers will have a great time washing cars with their friends and raising money for the band.
