Band trailer sponsorships – the trailer was purchased almost 5 years ago thanks to generous donations by our sponsors. If you paid for those regular expenses using a gift card purchased from the HHS Band Scrip Program, you would get a rebate on each purchase, a rebate that goes straight into your student’s CHARMS fundraising account. The rescheduled Band Booster Meeting is Thursday, October 11th at 6:30pm in the HHS Band Room. We are selling Howell crates for $30 each ($15 of which will go directly to the HHS band student who sold it to you.) If you do not request a band member, the money will go back to the Band Boosters to help support things like repairing equipment, our band trailer needs, and buying new vests or jackets for the band. Those sponsorships will expire this year and we are looking for potential sponsors and/or someone to help solicit business or individual sponsorships. The AmazonSmile program will help us do even more. If you have not already used the AmazonSmile program, you can select Howell Band Boosters as your beneficiary, and every time you shop on Amazon, you raise funds in support of band initiatives. You are welcome to attend either time but, we recommend the 3rd hour time slot as that will probably have more open seats.
You do NOT need to be a Prime member and it costs you nothing more on your purchases! Below is the link to the New Marching Band Member Orientation slide show.
