Band Parents Meeting on Wednesday
This meeting is your monthly opportunity to learn and ask questions about what's happening with the Band & Guard. We hope to see you there, as it takes all of us to make this organization great!
100-Family Tag Sale Time!
We aren't fooling around - we need everyone's help to make this fundraiser work this weekend!
“Junk in the Trunk Night” - Friday, 10/18: 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm (or stay as long as you can)
ALL BAND & GUARD MEMBERS ARE EXPECTED TO UNLOAD CARS! Band & Guard families can begin dropping off items at 5:30 pm so we can be ready to help unload cars at 6:00. We will be open for drop offs until 8:45 pm.
Need parents to help organize and tag items – no experience necessary
Need parents with trucks to pick up & deliver items to NHS – students can go with you to help with loading
Set Up is actually lots of fun – all family members invited to help! Volunteers also get to shop that night - click here to sign up!
Tag Sale Parent Volunteers Needed - Saturday, 10/19
Three shifts of help will be needed for a successful tag sale! Simply click here to volunteer.
Shift 1: 7:30 am - 11:30 am - set up and work tag sale
Shift 2: 11:30 am - 2:30 pm - work tag sale & start clean up
Shift 3: 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm - clean up and load truck – the truck has a lift (so no heavy lifting) but we still need some Dads for this!
Saturday “On Call” Deliveries - If you have a truck and would be willing to be “on call” to deliver items locally to someone’s home if needed, please CLICK HERE to volunteer!
Bake Sale - Shopping for great deals is even more fun if you can eat something yummy... sign up for shift 1 (8:30 am - 11:30 am) or shift 2 (11:30 am - 2:00 pm) or maybe even both!
Additionally, we request that every Band & Guard member bring BAKED GOODS for the Bake Sale. Portions should be generous and individually packaged for sale for $1. Be sure to label anything that may contain nuts. Please use this Perfect Potluck link sign up.
Thank you - it's going to be ANOTHER great day for our organization, but it will only work if we all work together!
