Announcements:

The next big event is our concert on Tuesday, December 15.  If you can help as an usher or videographer, please let me know!  I'm not much of a cameraman!

Video is available of the concert.

If you would like to see a simple recording of the last concert, I did video tape it.  The video is too large to load onto the "myphotoalbum" part of this web site so if you'd like a DVD copy, please contact me.  I'll ask that you donate $10 to the band boosters.  I'll donate the disc and time and we'll use the cash to help the booster program.

Thank you, John.

New Drop Box

There is a new Booster Drop Box in Mr. H's office on the wall.  Please use it to deposit donations, notes, fundraising money, etc. that need to be picked up by the band booster board.

Fundraisers:

Maureen has enrolled us in "ESCRIP", a very easy way for us to receive much-needed donations for the band program.  I have enrolled on behalf of my business and we hope everyone will sign up.  Our Group ID is:  500023443 but you can also search for us as Gar-Field Band Boosters.  Here is the blurb about the program from their web site:
 Sign Up Now!
eScrip is proven to be a fantastic resource for fundraising where participating business partners contribute a percentage of your grocery loyalty cards, credit card, and debit/ATM card purchases to the school, group or organization of your choice. Visit our family of merchants for a complete list of participants in the program.

Here's How it Works

You register any one or all of your existing grocery loyalty, debit and credit cards for use in the program.

 

Participating merchants will make contributions to your chosen group, based on purchases made by you, just by using the cards you have registered.

 

Your purchases are tracked and available to you online, allowing you to see just how much you are earning on your child's behalf!

We are in the middle of our White House Ornament sales.  Ornaments sell for $18 each and are available from Mr. Hoang.  Maureen Holt is in charge of the fundraiser and will be happy to answer your questions about this important program. 

Corporate Donations are always welcome.  We would like to be able to buy some new instruments next year and it really looks like this is how we'll be able to do it.  If your company might be interested in supporting our band program, please contact your booster board!

As always, thank you for all you do for the Gar-Field Bands!
