BLITZ Fundraiser - NEXT WEDNESDAY June 9th at 11 AM

The Blitz Fundraiser is what makes up the difference between our band fees and what the other groups charge, so it is important we keep doing well at the Blitz Fundraiser so we can keep our fees lower.  The Blitz Fundraiser will be held in person so start making your list of Friends & Family members to call (AT LEAST 15 contacts)!  Our goal is $40,000. More money means more money for Marching Band Costumes, Props, Consultants/Techs, and travel costs!  So let's earn as much as we can to help our program be successful this year and next year.

*Vets - Old logins do not work, BUT your contacts have been saved from previous Blitz fundraisers*
