**Still need help with this** 2023 Fall Show Props
Not completed
Still need a volunteer for this. I would like to use that prop that sitting outside the pod on thebandgrid. I just need someone to go out there and tell me if the prop is salvageable, if it will fit in a box truck, about how much it might cost to restore, and if the motor/ elevator on the prop still works.
Shoot me an email if you can help with that. Thanks!

Sectionals starting after TMEA
A sectional calendar will be out this week on the BAND app. Sectionals will last for about 1 hour after school once a week. In an effort to keep the calendar somewhat clean, we will NOT be putting the sectional schedule on the main calendar, but will instead be communicated to the students and posted on the BAND app.

💰Fundraising Corner💰
Decision Made: Coupon Digital Coupon Book
Thanks for voting on the parent page! After next week – when the teachers get back from TMEA, I’ll be asking all students to come up with 10-20 emails and/or phone numbers of family, friends, community members, etc to receive the fundraiser information. The good thing about this – once your student puts in these numbers/emails, most of the work is done for the fall when we do our donation drive. Students would just need to update/add/subtract numbers, but most of the work will be done for them. Students may still have this list of numbers/emails on their phone from the WiddyUp fundraiser.
The other cool thing, if people decide to renew their subscription to this coupon book, we will still get the profit from it, even years down the line. This should be pretty painless. All we have to do is add the numbers, and then we’re done.easy.
Here’s the why: Not only do we need to pay this year’s bills, we need to raise funds for winterguard props, instructional staff, masterclass teachers, lesson scholarships, marchingbandprops (STATE YEAR!), show design, instruments, and so much more. Here are some documents that were made by the Vertical Raise People (also attached)
