Spartan Regiment Update 6/6/21

 Hello Spartan Regiment Family,

Thank you to everyone that attended and helped with the 2021 Band Registration! It literally took Mr. Klein weeks to enter all the data from band registration last year. The VOLUNTEERS made Saturday successful. 

Alright everyone, the 21-22 Spartan Regiment season starts this week. We are very excited to get back to playing, spinning, and moving again, but we have several housekeeping items before we start. If you have not registered for band, please complete all the links listed below. Band Fees can be paid in CutTime starting on June 21st, if not earlier. Stay tuned. Lastly, the BIGGEST fundraiser of the year is on WEDNESDAY. The Blitz (telethon format) raised $38,000 last year. See below for more important information.

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. The most profitable section and friends WIN a TEXAS DE BRAZIL steak dinner!!

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