5/3/23 - MHS Band Spring Fundraiser -- Donations, Desserts, and Diamonds

Dear MHS band families,

We are so excited for our first ever Donations, Desserts and Diamonds event next week! This event will feature drinks, desserts, and good company - plus a silent auction, 50/50 raffle, and the chance to win a diamond!

This spring fundraiser helps support our wonderful MHS band program. New instruments, guest artists, specialist staff, jazz band, marching band - so much of the "above and beyond" that makes MHS band amazing is funded through the band boosters and donations from our families and community.

When: May 9th & 10th, from 6:00-7:30pm (before each band concert)

Where: MHS North Commons

Silent Auction: We have a series of exciting gift baskets from some great community donors that are already available for bidding.

50/50 Raffle and Diamond Entry: Tickets will be available for purchase at the event.

Silent auctions and raffles not your thing? Please come anyway and enjoy the time before the concerts with some refreshments. If you are in a position to do so, consider making a tax-deductible donation to the band boosters instead.

Thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing you next week!

4/18/23 - MHS Band Spring Concerts & End-of-Year Fundraiser

Dear Band Families,

Our spring band series is coming up soon at the PAC on May 9th and 10th.

Please join us before each concert for Desserts, Donations, and Diamonds, which is the last band booster event of this school year! These fun-filled family and friend events coincide with the spring concerts at the high school, and all are welcome! There will be a silent auction, a 50/50 raffle, and a chance to win a real diamond!!!! Please enter the school through the North Commons (Door 30). As you know, you are all members of the booster organization just by having a child in the band program. Your support of band boosters allows our music program to bring in amazing guest artists from around the state and country, help band students perform with accompaniment at the solo and ensemble festival, purchase new instruments, and continue to provide our marching band with much-needed resources to be competitive in state competitions. It helps us bridge gaps and to realize equity and inclusion in our instrumental music program and is key to our success and the success of our students.

Please go to the following link to get more information. Can't wait to see you there!
