We are in desperate need of your help!
Unfortunately we have had a very poor turnout so far for sign up for concessions tomorrow night. WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Concessions can’t run and be successful with a few people. It needs to be a team effort and the team is the Parents, Guardians and family members of the band and guard members.
The sign up was purposely set it up for two shifts to allow band parents time to sit in the stands and watch part of the show.
Just as a reminder, this fundraising benefits the kids, your kids. Monies to the general fund assist in purchasing the equipment, supplies and music staff needed for the band and guard season to happen along with assisting in keeping the participation cost to you at a minimal level.
PLEASE HELP AND SIGN UP VIA THE LINK BELOW SO THIS CAN BE A SUCCESSFUL EVENT!
THANKS

New England & CT State Championships Ticket Exchange
As in the past, every family is required to purchase 2 tickets for the State Championships at approx $18ea. Since not every family can use BOTH or even one ticket, and some families need MORE than 2 tickets — we have set up a “Ticket Exchange”.
First come, first served. Please fill out the form. There is no guarantee that we can sell your unwanted tickets, or that we will have extra! (tickets are also sold at the gate). If you do NOTHING you will be charged for 2 tickets and can pick them up at the tennis courts on Saturday Morning at 11a.
