Jagtastic Christmas Auction
November 14, 2020, from 8 a.m. - 8 p.m., join us online for the Jagtastic Christmas Auction! So many generous band parents and community members have contributed to the online auction, and we are so excited about all of the great items that are available for purchase.
Please check out the Facebook page where items are being shared, so that you can be ready for Saturday's event and share this fundraising opportunity with your friends and family! This is the Band Booster's Winter Fundraiser and is being held just in time for Christmas shopping! ALL profits from this fundraiser benefit the Johnson Band program which includes Wind Instruments, Percussion and Color Guard. There is also an event page where you can indicate your interest but the auction will be held on the Jagtastic Christmas Auction 2020 FB page.

Sign Up to Sell Spirit Gear at Games
We need volunteers to help sell our Johnson Swag during football games. With limited fundraising opportunities due to COVID, selling at games is a great opportunity for us to raise funds that can help support the Jaguar Band.
You will be working with someone who is in charge of the cash box and who knows what to do. The only requirements are that you bring a fully charged cell phone and have the Square App on your phone so that you can charge customers. Please know that the Spirit Gear table is open for as long as you are busy/selling items. For the first game, we sold right through until the game ended, but for the second game, we closed down during the 4th quarter.
Email Carmen Sifuentes at vpfundraising@johnsonbands.com if you have any questions.
Rookie Corner
Full uniform
Please help your student remember the full uniform includes bringing the band-issued water jug (already filled with water), the official band mask, and black socks!
COMING THIS WEEK! Parent Section Leads
Don't know what a "bibber" is? Not sure what time your child needs to be at the school? Have you wondered any other questions that your child didn't know but that you didn't want to go to the directors to ask? Well, we have the solution for you! The Jaguar Band will now be having "Parent Section Leads". There will be a parent designated per section that will be available to you as a first source of information! This will be a great way for us to not only improve our lines of communication but to build relationships in our Jaguar Band family during a challenging time - something that is usually easier to do when we are all seeing each other so often during a regular "Bandtober"! So keep your eyes open for an email from your Parent Section Lead!
Volunteer !
You don't have to be a "veteran" member to volunteer for a committee! In fact, with such a young band, it is important that rookie parents step into roles early - just like our students are having to do! We will start preparing for the 2021 marching season this Spring, so please know that we will be reaching out via email soon! Or better yet, let us know if you have any particular interests by filling out our Committee Interest Form!
Communications
The band directors and boosters primarily rely on Charms to communicate information. Make sure your information is up to date in Charms. Reminder that the Jaguar Band school code is: JohnsonJaguarBand
Football Program Ads: Celebrate your student! Promote your business! It's not too late!!
Missed the deadline to submit your celebration ad? Well, it's not too late! We are still taking orders for FOOTBALL PROGRAM ADS and ask all of our band families to share this information with friends and acquaintances. Ads submitted before the next printing deadline (generally Fridays) will be included in the next weeks program. For details and templates, click here.
Order a personal ad to celebrate your student in this year's Jaguar football program! These programs are a great keepsake and is open to all Johnson students. Your personal ad will be featured in every home Jaguar football game program published this season! The football programs are also great advertising space for local businesses!

Band Sponsorships and opportunity to put Student names on trailer!
The Johnson Jaguar Band depends in large part on the fundraising efforts of the Band Boosters. Sponsorships are a very important part of fundraising. Our Sponsorship levels have been updated, and we have a lot of exciting options for businesses AND families! We ask that every family please share this brochure with anyone you know that has a business. We are eager to help promote businesses in our community that support the Jaguar Band! If you would like color copies of our Sponsorship Brochure, we are happy to provide them.
Questions?

A new addition to our Sponsorship options is the Friends and Family Level. This level offers various options for businesses as well as an option for band families: For $200, you can have your child’s name and graduation year on our band trailer indefinitely with the option to simultaneously add sibling name for an additional $100.
Thank you for your support of the Johnson Jaguar Band!
