Clarification on Admission to the Band Banquet

Post Date: May 15th, 2012

Band and color guard parents,

There may have been a miscommunication regarding the payment of admission to the band banquet. Hopefully this email will clear up any questions.

The banquet is this Friday, from 6-9 p.m., at Central Middle School.

The cost is $15 per person. Everyone who enters the facility, including members of the band and color guard, has to pay; there are no exceptions.

Kids can pay every day this week and at the door the night of the banquet. If you would like to pay this week, give your money to Julianne Pitchford or Robby Mayhew. They will record your name and how much you paid. Everyone will check in at the door the night of the banquet and be given a food coupon as they enter. There are no tickets to take home.

The facility seats 270 people. If you wait to pay the night of the event and we reach the 270 limit while you are in line to pay, you will miss out. So it is best to pay in advance.

If you have any questions, contact Phil Pitchford.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you Friday night!

Parents, Family and Friends of the Band and Color Guard

This is a reminder that we will have our Goodwill Fundraiser this Saturday (May 12) from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Poly High School.

We need your help with several things:

    Clean out your garage and bring items to Poly (the more we get, the more money we make)

    Print the Goodwill Donation flier and pass it out to neighbors, family, and friends and ask them to clean out their garage and donate. We will pick up — the information is on the flier.

    We need volunteers to pass out the fliers to local residents who are having yard sales and to pick up items. If you can help, please contact Phil Pitchford.

Please pitch in and help us to fund this program. Remember: If you cannot get the items to Poly, we will pick up.

Reminder: Each student has been given a schedule of when they are expected to come to Poly to help.
