We would not have a band program without the money Band Boosters raises. The band must pay for transportation to and from every away game and band competition. Each year the Band Boosters help with band expenses, including music for field shows and concerts, transportation to all events, equipment bus costs, band supplies, Color Guard & Flag supplies, Junior/Senior Clinic costs, fees to enter competitions, fees for summer band camp, uniform cleaning, instrument purchases, instrument repair. Therefore, fund raising is an important service of the Band Boosters.
Currently we have six major fund raising efforts.
1. Concession Stands (Our BIGGEST money maker)
The Band Boosters are responsible for the concession stands at every home football and basketball game. Running the stands requires many volunteers. Please sign up to help operate the concession stands at least two times for football plus two times for basketball season. Please keep track of your hours to earn up to 10% discount on band camp fees. (See Student Accounts page for more info)
2. Scrip (The EASIEST way to earn money for your account)
If you grocery shop at either Ingles or Food City you can raise money for the band at no cost to yourself.
$100 investment = $100 groceries/gas + $5.00 income
Ingles and Food City sell gift cards to us at a generous 5% discount. Supporters purchase these gift cards at face value. If you buy a card for $100, use it to purchase $100 groceries and/or gasoline PLUS receive $2.50 in your student's account and $2.50 goes to the band account.
If you buy gasoline at Food City you earn credits to your account very quickly. The Food City in Jefferson City, Morristown on Buffalo Trail and Strawberry Plains have gas stations. Click "Pay Inside", fill up and take your card to the person in the kiosk.
Mrs. Lisa Harris, 581-4494, has the cards and you can get them from her after school.
3. Pancake Breakfast (Everyone enjoys this - diners and workers)
Each spring, we hold a pancake breakfast. Students sell tickets and earn a portion of their sales as a credit to cover their band expenses. Students also work as hosts and waiters and to bus tables at the breakfast. Student workers receive credit by dividing the profits left after the students have been assigned their credit for ticket sales and the cost of the breakfast is covered. This is a fundraiser to help students and their families with band expenses. The band does not make a profit from this fundraiser.
4. Coke Case Sale
Our final fund raising event for this year will be a Coke case sale. Blank order forms will be available on the information podium located in the Band room. You may make additional copies of the order form as needed.
The cost of each case is $15.00 including tax. 20 ounce bottles, 24 in a case - that comes to less than 63 cents per bottle!
Please be sure to complete one order form for each customer, indicating the customer’s name, address, phone number and number of cases sold for each type of drink. Do NOT put a check mark next to the type of drink, please indicate the quantity on that line. Also, please be sure to fill in the student’s name at the top of each form so we can give the appropriate credit to the student’s account.
The top and bottom portions of each form should be filled out exactly the same. Once complete, tear the form at the dotted line and give the bottom half to your customer once they have paid. Return the top half of the form WITH MONEY.
NO ORDERS CAN BE ACCEPTED AFTER April 29th, 2010.
Remember, each order form MUST include payment.
We will accept cash or checks (payable to MWHS Band Boosters).
The cokes will be distributed on Saturday, May 8, from 12:30 pm to 3:00 pm at the front door of West High School. All coke products MUST be picked up that day and customers MUST present the bottom half of the order form to pick up their products. Any left over cases are returned to Coke, with no refunds given. Be sure that your customers are aware they MUST pick their cokes up during the distribution period!
Students will receive $2.00 credit in their band account for each case sold. This credit can be used for band related expenses, such as band camp or band trips for which there is a fee.
