Fundraiser for Reston Festival canceled
The band participation in the Reston Festival lemonade sales has been canceled. Thanks to all who volunteered.
Got Soda?
OK, the kids have moved on from milk to soda. The Boosters augment the Marching Band food fee budget so that the Marching Band can enjoy more snacks at football games and competitions.
We need your help. Giant and Safeway usually have great deals on soda if you buy several 12-packs. If you are planning to buy a few 12 packs of soda and the store is having something like a buy 5 cases for the price of 2 sale, please consider donating the extra soda to the band.
Our outgoing hospitality chair, Barbara Graham, will pick them up from your house and deliver them to the school when football games start. You can email her at soda@southlakesband.org.
