The BHS Music Boosters Association’s Youth Movie Night was a complete success this past Friday night … just ask the nearly 150, 5-13 year-olds who came for a night out with friends to see the Disney-Pixar movie “UP” on the big screen at Burlington High School!
Designed as a fundraiser for the Marching Band trip to DisneyWorld in April, Youth Movie Night was also a wonderful evening for parents who had the opportunity to drop their children off for three hours of completely supervised activities. Students from the Marching Band and parent chaperones from the Boosters were on hand every step of the way and those who participated were credited a part of the revenue towards their trip.
The evening activities included some rousing rounds of BINGO with cries for more when time ran out. The children also had an opportunity to purchase snacks and drinks at the concession table, a favorite stop during intermission, nearly devouring the entire stock of popcorn, juice & water and other yummy treats! All concession revenue was applied to the general Disney account.
Held in tandem with Youth Movie Night was the Music Boosters’ UNO Dine Out event where 20% of all sales at the Burlington restaurant with the special coupon would benefit the general fund. Coupons were available at the check-in at the high school for parents dropping off their children who might wish to dine out.
Parents, teen chaperones and children involved in the Youth Movie Night event were thrilled.” The movie choice was perfect,” commented one parent. “It held the interest of the children and teens.” Several wished this could happen every month! And one parent even suggested that the Boosters "Start earlier for this event, so parents could have a longer time out!"
