Band Update 12.1217 - Help Us, Help Students

SUBJECT:  Help Us, Help Students
 
Hello Sun Prairie Band Parents,
 
Help us help you! One of the ways our Band Booster organization supports students is through fundraisers (okay, we know everyone is busy but please keep reading! - this won't be that bad!).  One of the biggest fundraisers in which the Band Boosters participate is concessions at UW home athletic events.  
 
  • This fall, concessions has helped raise $3000 for Sun Prairie Bands, but we lost a potential $1,100 because we didn’t have enough workers to staff our Concession Stands
  • SPBB raises about $15,000 per year through fundraisers and Concession is the largest fundraiser.  
  • We have an urgent need for this Wednesday 12/13 - please click HERE (or read below)
 
The Band Boosters have a system in which funds are shared between individual students and the band program as a whole.  It is through these efforts that we are able to “boost/enhance/enrich” the band program in many ways, including bringing nationally recognized composers, conductors, and clinicians to our students in Sun Prairie.  
 
  • Other types of monetary enrichment & support:
    • Guest clinicians & artists
    • Lesson Academy Support (scholarships & Paypal fees)
    • Vehicle maintenance & insurance (chuckwagon, semi trailer)
    • High School  music awards and banquet
    • High School Wind Ensemble Carnegie Hall trip support
    • + Many others!
 
Even if you do not you do not have a specific need to raise funds for your son or daughter's band activities please consider helping with one concessions event in support of our band program and all of our band students.
 
We have an urgent need for help for the following volunteering @ UW Basketball Concessions:
  • Wednesday 12/3 @ 4pm (could arrive at 5pm if necessary)
  • Many other games coming up in December, January, & February


Please go online at http://www.spbb.org/concessions for days/times that we desperately need to fill or we may lose this fundraising opportunity
