Band Performance & Ice Cream Social Donations

Ice Cream Social

KONA ICE!!!

Beginning this week on Wednesday 8/12 and also on 8/17 and 8/19, our friends at Kona Ice will be on hand after Band rehearsal selling snow cones!  This is one of our fundraisers so I encourage you to send some money with your students so they can cool off with a yummy treat and help us raise money for the MEB!   There are multiple sizes/prices but they also sell a punch card for $10.

Our friends at Kona donate 20% of the sales back to the band. So please support our efforts!

Once school starts, Kona will be at school at 5:15 after rehearsals.  It will still be hot, so continue to encourage your student to cool off with Kona!
