  • Disney: The deadline for the next Spring Break payment is Wednesday, January 28. The total amount due will vary based on a student's citrus sale profit.  Each student will be notified of the profit amount as well as the total required for the January payment.  The third payment will be due on Feb. 26.

urgent need for Volunteers

  • music gala

A musical gala is being planned for May 28 at the Carolina Theater in Durham.  This event will require a large commitment from parent volunteers.  A planning committee is being formed to immediately begin to address the requirements of this large scale production. Please contact Virginia Taylor rvgtaylor@earthlink.net ASAP. 

  • capital funds committee

We are seeking parents interested in serving on a Capital Funds Committee to help write grants and seek other methods to raise money for the band.  If you are interested in serving on this ad hoc committee, please contact Virginia Taylor rvgtaylor@earthlink.net.  

fund raisers

  • entrée Vous

A $5.00 donation entitles the donor to an Entrée Vous coupon flyer for a free dessert. Additionally, with any entree purchase using the coupon flyer, Entree Vous will donate a portion back to the band depending on the size of the purchase. ($5 w/ purchase of 1 or more entrees, $20 w/ purchase of 3 or more entrees, and $50, w/ purchase of 6 or more entrees).  The coupons are good through April 2009 and the band will continue to receive a portion of purchases made with the coupons through April 2009. Contact Paige at pccragg@aol.com for additional information.

We earn 1 penny per search and can also earn up to 37% of purchases made using Goodshop (goodsearch), depending on the vendor.
