M.A.R.C.H UPDATE
We have 10 days left! We want to finish on a good ‘note’ ! This is an all band and guard community fundraiser. We need everyone to participate. Mr. Moon & Mr. Long sent an email last Thursday, February 20th. It summarizes very nicely key information.
We still have time to collect donations. The goal is $400 per student. YOU can do any of the following to make this happen. It’s really quite easy.
1.Direct family and friends to : https://www.roswellband.com/calendar-events/march/ Be sure donors put in your student’s name in the memo during check out.
2. Access the MARCH 2020 Sales Kit for flyers, tips, and other ideas! Go to: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zjvikv21vhpdt77/AABhCwYfXSJNFLlB_W0UZxqca?dl=0
There you can even download the file: DONOR PACKAGES FLYER. Print as many as you wish! Its easy to pass around to friends, neighbors and co-workers.
3. All cash and checks must be turned in by Friday, March 6 in our band mail box located in the school’s front office. Be sure your student(s) name is on the envelope. ☺
Save the date! March 7th is our Service Day from 8am – 4pm.
Students and parents come to the band room with water and work gloves. Lunch arrangements are still being finalized.
Students can select their work site right now. Sign up sheets are in the band room. We have 12 locations to choose from.
We must have parent volunteers. Please help! We need 30 adults to help us at the sites. Sign-ups can be done online. You can pick a work site at:

It's that time of year to get your photo taken for the band banquet. Every year we take individual senior photos, mat and frame them. Everyone at the band banquet gets to sign the mats and we will frame them and you get to take your signed, framed photo home that night. There is absolutely no charge; it’s the band's gift to you! No matter what band (Marching, Classroom, Color Guard, Winter Guard, Indoor Drumline, Jazz Band) you participate.
