Holiday Cheer Raffle:

This year the Band Boosters will be hosting a Holiday Celebration Dinner and Silent Auction on December 5th as our major fundraiser. For returning parents, this event is in place of the Gala Raffle which has been held for the last several years. Tickets will be $15.00 each or $25.00 per couple. Unlike the pizza sales and fudge sales, which primarily benefit individual students, the dinner and silent auction proceeds will benefit the band as a whole.

As part of the Silent Auction, each section has been assigned a themed basket to be auctioned off during the event. We are asking each member of the section to purchase an item with approximately a $10.00 value. Please keep items general so that they will appeal to everyone (i.e. For the Movie Night Basket, please so not purchase a specific movie, but instead purchase a movie gift card so the winner could make their own selection). We are asking that these items be delivered to the band room between October 23 and November 6, 2010. Barbara Sperber has volunteered to coordinate the basket assembly. If you need suggestions for basket content she can be reached at 717-319-7629 or bjsperber@comcast.net. Section assignments are as follows:

Guard – Chocolate Basket
Trumpets – Toy Basket
Drum line – Movie Basket
Trombones/Tuba- Camp Hill Basket
Clarinets – Coffee Basket
Saxophones- Disney Basket
Flutes – Barbeque Basket
Baritones/Tenor Sax – Italian Dinner Basket
Pit – Mexican Fiesta Basket
Managers – Baking Basket

Also new this year, we are asking students to VOLUNTEER their time to this event. We need students to assist with pre-event preparation, set-up and clean up, as well as help with sending out donor Thank You letters. We will also need students to help assemble dry mix “Gifts in a Jar”. We also would consider students volunteering a service such as baking, with the cookies or cake to be delivered with an adult present. For the student’s safety, we do not want them to volunteer any service which would require them to enter a person’s home (such as babysitting). The attached form has the volunteer opportunities listed. If your student is able to assist with any portion of the event please return the attached form to the band room by the end of classes on September 1.

The Holiday Celebration Committee is in the process of soliciting donations from local businesses. We also are asking parents and guardians for donations of items for the Silent Auction. Think “Outside of the Box”. Donations could include services such as lawn care, hair salon services, tax preparation, baking, or music lessons. Maybe there are some artists or craftsmen in our midst that would donate their handiwork. Do you have a week at a vacation home that you are willing to donate? Would you like to sponsor a basket? If you are able to make a donation, please complete the attached form and have your student return it to the band room by the end of classes on September 1.

Lastly we are holding a contest to have a band student design the event tickets. The design requirements are enclosed with this packet. Students should submit their proposal to the band room by September 1.

Thank You for Your Assistance,
