SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!!!

HUGE profits to the band/guard! If you know a high school band/guard member, then mention their name prior to purchasing so they get fundraising credit toward their individual Student Financial Accounts!

We had a parent attend this event two weeks ago at another location and said the prices were significantly cheaper than the last time they shopped in-store for a mattress, etc. This is because the 'showroom' comes to us!

PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD AND/OR COME SHOP FOR YOURSELF!!

Sunday, 10:00-5:00 in the LNHS Auxiliary Gym!!

Here is a wish list from the band directors/guard coaches. If you are able to help with any of these, or if you have any contacts/leads, then please contact either Dr. Doss (Justin.Doss@lps53.org) and/or Booster President Amy Konkle libertynorthband@gmail.com!

Vending machine for LNHS band room (to include reeds, oil, marching gloves, flip folder pages, etc.) - Cost unknown

Semi trailer for transporting instruments, uniforms, etc. - Cost unknown

Scholarship funding for HMS/SVMS/LNHS students - specifically, funds for summer band camps, honor ensemble participation, private lessons fees, etc. (These are NOT currently in place, so we would be looking for someone to help create them AND acquire ongoing funding for them.)

New Eagle Band attire for the Directors/Coaches/Staff - Help us dress for success! (We cannot use our school budget money for this, so we would welcome funding for new polo shirts, matching staff jackets, hats, etc.)

New 6' silver flag poles for the guard - approx. $500-600 for 30 poles

Two tarp carts for winter guard floor tarps - approx. $250 each

Recruitment wristbands, stickers, candy, etc. - Cost varies by unit (contact Kelsee.Gardner@lps53.org to help with bracelets and/or stickers!)

Gift cards and/or Cash Donations - The Boosters/Directors can always use gift cards/cash donations to local stores to benefit students for trips, special events, performances, equipment, etc.. (e.g., Walmart, Target, Hy-Vee, Price Chopper, Amazon, etc.)
