Our 6th annual Pancake Breakfast and Fall Concert is coming up on November 3rd. This is a required event for all band students. The event includes a silent auction, and goes from 8:30-11:30am. Specific performance times will be sent out on Friday.
Our silent auction is critical part of the event's success, as 50% of our income comes from the auction alone. We are behind, however, as far as donations for the auction. So, we need your help! We are currently looking for donations for our silent auction. If you are able to help, or know anyone who can, please let me know! Here are examples of items we have had in the past:
- Theme park tickets (Disney, Universal, etc.)
- Gift Cards (Restaurant, shopping)
- Sporting event tickets (we've had with season tickets donate tickets to a game they wouldn't be able to attend)
- art work
- other gift items.
If you need an official letter from the school to get a donation, please let me know.
Also - each class has a theme for an auction basket, and we are asking that students bring in items for their class basket. These do not have to be big things - just small things that go along with the theme. Here are the class themes for this year:
