FUNDRAISING PLANS PRESENTED TO STUDENTS
We presented all fundraising plans to the Marching Band students on Tuesday of this week during after school Band Rehearsal. Fundraisers that are underway now include: "Lion King" tickets (see below), Halloween Parade Walk-a-Thon, and Movie Night (December 11th). Each student received flyers for each of these fundraisers. Encourage your student to collect "sponsors" for him/her to walk the 5 mile route for the Halloween parade (Sun., Oct. 25). Contact friends who are parents of younger children to come see a movie at BHS auditorium, kid-sitting included. Also, band families, alumni, and local businesses will be receiving a request to become "Friends of the Music Boosters" by submitting a donation. Look for your letter to be arriving in the mail soon. These are just some of the fundraisers that we have planned for the year.
"LION KING" TICKETS FOR SALE
(NOTE: website has changed) The National Touring production of "The Lion King" is coming to Boston's Opera House and our first fundraiser is to sell tickets with a built-in donation. The performance is on Wed., Feb. 17, 2010 (February school vacation week) at 7:00 pm. Use the following website to purchase your tickets by October 28, 2009 (prices: $50, $85, and $100). Don't delay, the seats will sell fast. What a great holiday gift and a wonderful fundraiser for our kids!
