Band Pancake Breakfast and Fall Concert

Good Afternoon,

Our 6th annual Pancake Breakfast and Fall Concert is quickly approaching!  We still need lots of help.  Please read all the way through the email, as there is a lot of information.

-  The performance schedule was included in the last email.  Students need to be here, in their band t-shirt, at least 20 minutes prior to their performance time.  This is a required performance for all band students.

- Band T-shirts will be here next week.  Students who have already paid the $35 fairshare will receive the shirt as soon as it arrives.  Remaining shirts will go onsale at the end of the week for $10.  Please remember, the fairshare covers the majority of fees for the school year.  Beginning Band students will be getting black Bridgewater Band polo shirts for all other concerts, and that is included in the fairshare.

- We still need silent auction donations.  Thank you to everyone who has emailed in response to this.  Please check the website for the Silent Auction flyer and Donation letter.  Please consider sending something for your child's class basket.

- Tickets go on sale tomorrow!  A ticket for breakfast costs $5, and includes pancakes, sausage (turkey or pork), juice, coffee, and bottled water.  Our goal is for each band student to bring an average of four people for the breakfast.  This will help us to meet our event goal.  Tickets will be on sale until we sell out.  Any remaining tickets will be sold at the door for $7.  Here is a link to the ticket order form:

Please feel free to send the form to friends and family - our goal is to sell out as soon as possible.

- We need volunteers for the event!  In the past, we have asked volunteers to email me to sign up.  We are going to try it a little differently this time.  If you would like to volunteer, please click on the link below, and put your name in the slot where you would like to help.  Once you do this, please email me so I can send additional details.  Here is a link to the document:

-  Finally - we are need of some donations for the breakfast itself.  We need donations of bottled water and juice boxes.  We would like 8th grade students to send in bottled water, and 6th/7th grade students to send in juice boxes.  This is greatly appreciated! If you know of a place that is having a good sale on these items, please let me know.  I will forward the information to everyone.

Thank you to everyone for your help with the breakfast!  This is our biggest event of the year, and the students have been working very hard for this concert.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Mr. Antmann
