As previously announced, we need all our parents to volunteer to ensure we continue the tradition of excellence that is Carmel Bands. Accordingly, all Marching Band families must sign up to assist with one of the two major fundraisers this year: the Car Wash on July 2nd or Community Night in October. In addition, we are asking families to sign up to help with one operational aspect of the Marching Band program.
Many of our parents have already responded and signed up to help out. In that regard, the following volunteer opportunities are full and no longer available for sign up: Community Night Bake Sale, Car Wash Bake Sale, Grand Nationals Ticket Committee and the Season Football Tickets Committee. Pitch In Committee is almost full (this is a great opportunity for working parents as you simply assist in the set up and clean up of the pitch in dinner before Friday night home football games…you DO NOT have to prepare dinner for the entire band) Only a few spots left for Pitch In Committee, so if you are interested, sign up today! We still need Spirit Parents (known as spirit moms but dads are welcome too!) especially in the Clarinet and Saxophone sections. Other volunteer opportunities are also still available. If you did not attend the volunteer fair, please go to the website and sign up on-line. Registration will not be considered complete until you have signed up to volunteer
Any family who chooses not to volunteer or fails to fulfill their volunteer commitment this year will be asked to pay an additional $100 per student.Questions about the volunteer commitment? Contact Lisa Harbour. This promises to be a great season culminating with our band participating in the 2011 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Thanks to all of our marching band families for getting this season off to an incredible start.
ADDITIONAL FEE REDUCER OPPORTUNITY
Also at the Booster meeting, an additional fee reducing opportunity was announced to benefit Carmel Band families for this coming school year. During the 2011-12 school year, we will have an event program available at each of the band events. We are asking for your help in selling advertisements and sponsorships to businesses and individuals to be included in this event program. The debut of the event program will be at the fall Marching Greyhound Community Night. Advertisements and sponsorships are available at the $150 to $10,000 levels. The schedule of benefits corporations will receive in exchange for sponsoring our band were provided as well and can be found on the Carmel Bands website here. We anticipate that these event programs will be seen by up to 9000 patrons and potential customers over the course of the school year. For each advertisement sold, 25% of the sale will be credited to the fees of the student responsible. All the documents you need to participate in this fee reducer can be found on the Carmel Bands website. This fee reducer is completely optional, but is a great opportunity to reduce your fees and help the band at the same time.
Pleae refer to the website where you will have the opportunity volunteer to join the Program Ad committee in seeking corporate sponsorships. The general band booster membership has the opportunity to make personal contacts with various corporations and individuals in Carmel up to June 1. After that time, the program ad committee will begin soliciting Carmel area individuals and corporations. If you are interested in helping the band, sign up at the volunteer fair at the Corporate Sponsorship table or visit the volunteer sign up area on the website. If you have questions or wish to immediately sponsor the band, please email Tim Dawson.
