Christmas Concert Auction Baskets

We are asking for your help to make our next auction a huge success!  We would like each section to work together to come up with a themed basket to include in our silent auction at the Christmas concert on December 10.  There will be a sign up sheet in the band room this coming week for each section to claim a specific theme so that we don’t end up with duplicate baskets.  Each basket should have a value of no less than $50, but feel free to make it higher.  The key is to have a lot of items up for auction that people are interested in purchasing (think Christmas presents) all while supporting the band!  All baskets need to be turned in to the band room by Friday December 6. In addition, please provide a list of the items in your basket including their retail value.  

Some ideas for your baskets include a game night basket, a college themed basket, or a movie night basket.  I’m sure you will come up with some cool ones!  Let’s see which section can raise the most money!!!

If you have any questions, you can email Lisa Allport [email protected]

Winter Guard 
The schedule can be viewed here.  
Color Guard Auditions for next year have been set for April 21- April 25 from 4-6 in the Freshman Cafeteria.

Color Guard Camp has been set for Tuesday, May 27 - Friday, May 30 (morning and afternoon).

After some request from families and a need to provide more guard equipment, we are going to do a color guard specific fundraising where 100% of the profit will go towards our winter guard needs.   This will be an item fundraiser consisting of a variety of flavors of popcorn (gallon size) and cookies.  We will kick off later in December and it will run over the holiday to January 10th.   We will give information in class on December 10th.  All of this money will be used exclusively to benefit our color guard.  

St. Louis Trip Update! Thursday May 1 - Saturday, May 3.

Cardinals update:  We received an email from them before Thanksgiving:
"We have not started our outreach for the 2025 season just yet.  We have had some internal restructuring that has caused some delays.  We hope to have all of our information out to you to complete by the end of the month."

So sorry for the delay - we are working as fast as the Cardinals let us!
