Mr. Walker’s Band Site

Due to the inclement weather, there will be no pep band tonight, January 12th, 2012.

So what are you doing on Friday the 13th? That’s the date for the Band Boosters’ first fund raiser of 2012!

On Friday, January 13th during the basketball games, the Band Boosters will be sponsoring a Taco Dinner in the small gym near the auditorium beginning at 5:30 pm. By the way, all band students are scheduled to play in the pep band that evening.

We could use your help in the following ways:

1. If you have a junior or senior student in band, we are asking you to donate a case of pop for the event. If your student could bring the pop to the band room no later than Thursday, January 12th, Mr. Walker and the students can take inventory and get it iced down before the event for us. I’m suggesting Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and/ or Sierra Mist. By the way, Pepsi products are on sale right now at Hy-Vee!

2. If you have a freshman or sophomore student in band, we asking you to donate a 12-18 “servings” of a dessert. You can either have your student bring it to the band room Friday before or after school or to the gym no later than 5:00 pm.

3. We could use a few volunteers to help serve and clean up. Please respond to this e-mail if you can help anytime between 5:00 pm and 7:30 pm on Friday. January 13th.

4. Come eat some tacos!

Thank you to those that have helped with fund raisers earlier this school year. We earned about $750 from the concession sales at the Jr. High Speech Contest. I anticipate that the Boosters will earn about $750 from the fruit sales, and band students will earn another $750 collectively in their individual student accounts from that fruit sale. Mr. Walker is searching for a tenor sax to replace the one that died on us at a marching band contest this fall. Its purchase will be funded by the Band Boosters.

In March and April, we will be serving concessions at the IHSA high school music contests. We hope that you can help us with those events, too.
