Fundraising Opportunities
See the January 19 update from Vicki on Toyota Center activities. Watch the progress meter on the right to see how our funds are adding up.
Here is an interesting option to obtain a great souvenir of your band years as well as support your organization. One of our show designers, Mitch Rogers, also produces "art" versions of his drill designs, including those presented by particular schools, which he prints on t-shirts and other items. In exchange for advertising his site, he has offered us a percentage of the sales donated back to the band. Here is his general web site as well as the on-line store for the items mentioned above. Please see the Calendars page for calendars of all fundraising events coming this month and in December.
As always, we thank you for your support.
