By Band Booster President, on September 18th, 2011 Plan on attending family night on Monday, September 19. The band and color guard will perform in uniform. Boosters will have concessions if you would like to eat dinner. There will be hamburgers, hot dogs, Polish sausage, chips, soda, water and candy. Please bring cash if you want to buy something to eat. Prices are reasonable – this is not a fundraiser, just a fun night to get together and be impressed by our kids. The grill will be going by about 5:30pm, and the band should appear close to 6:30pm. Hope to see you there!
By Band Booster President, on September 8th, 2011 For all those parents and students interested, we have a date scheduled for a yard sale to help raise money for marching band. Interested students are invited to bring items to sell. You will need to set up your own display, and will need to mark your items clearly with your name and the price. There will be a central cashier to handle all the money. Money earned will be deposited directly in to the student’s school account to be credited toward marching band fees.
The sale will be held Saturday, September 24th from 7:00 a.m. until noon in the front parking lot of Riverton High School where we have held it in previous years. We have received permission from the administration to hold the yard sale at the school, and Mr. Faires has agreed to the yard sale as well, even with the competition at Payson that afternoon. We should be finished with the sale in time for students to leave on the bus, but parents may need to finish up if students have to leave earlier. Sharon Jessee will be advertising and organizing the sale. Please contact her immediately if you plan to participate since we only have about two weeks to get ready. Also, if any of you have tents or awnings for shade, let her know. If any of you have suggestions on making this yard sale a success, she would love to hear them! In the past, the band yard sale has been a great fund raiser for many of the students, and we are hopeful it will be again. You can reach Sharon by email or by phone: 801-254-7385 home swjessee@gmail.com
By Band Booster President, on September 1st, 2011 We are now collecting sponsorships to be specifically connected with the Wasatch Front Marching Band Invitational. We have asked that every family have the goal of at least one sponsorship. Sponsors can be any company, business, favorite store, dentist or anyone willing to donate. All sponsors will receive a tax deductible receipt for donating to a tax-exempt organization.
There are various levels of sponsorship depending on the size of the desired ad. Most companies have funds for this type of sponsorship. These ads will be viewed by hundreds of spectators from all over Utah. Those who purchase a banner ad will have their ad displayed for the entire year. We really need a full commitment from all band families. Be creative. Set a goal of several sponsors if able.
The process is simple. Download and print the two attached documents and take them to the potential donor. Students are encouraged to wear their band shirt when soliciting sponsorships. This is a wonderful event and has the potential to provide good advertising for sponsors of Riverton Band. Please spread the word.
Please return all sponsor forms by September 12.
Thank you!
UPDATE: Patty Hales address was listed incorrectly on the sponsorship form. That has now been corrected. All sponsorship information and questions should be directed to her at zpattyjhz@gmail.com. WFMBI Sponsorship Form, revised (32) RHS WFMBI Sponsorship Letter 2011 (62)
