November 14-18

What a wonderful Veteran's Day program!  Those of you who missed it can catch the pictures here

The mighty Mustang varsity football has made it to the playoffs!  This means that Pep Band will perform this Friday, November 18 at 7:00.  Call time will be 6:00 for all band students.  If we win, there is a possibility of a game the day after Thanksgiving.  Please keep this as a possibility on your schedule.

Join us in our at Chevy's on December 1!  If you bring this flier Chevy's will donate 25% of your ticket to our program.  Join with friends and family for lunch, happy hour or dinner and support PHS Music while you do.  Thanks to Ileen Urban for arranging this fundraiser.

Speaking of fundraising- our fall fundraiser is now in progress!  We will again use the We Care Coffee Company to provide our group with the highest quality local coffee and food products.  There will be two main options that students have to earn money- traditional and online.  The traditional sale (grab bags) is the highest profit and works great for selling locally.  Students request a grab bag and sell all the items (6 bags of coffee, 2 bags of cocoa and 2 bags of cookie dough mix) for a set profit of 50%.  There is also a mini grab bag which includes only 2 coffees and 2 cocoas for 48% profit.  This form has all the info about the grab bag sale- return this form to participate.  The online store features a bigger catalog of items for purchase and can be shipped across the country.  The online store is live now and can be promoted here!  The grab bag order form is due before Thanksgiving and items will be delivered prior to Christmas break.  For each grab bag you plan to sell, plan on about $50 profit.  If you are in the online sale, the profit will be reported to me later in the course of the fundraiser.

All of this fundraising is to support students in their expenses.  Tour Payment #2 is now due!  This payment is $150.  Those who haven't paid their deposit should pay $250 to be current!  There are many students who RSVP'd yes to the trip, but have yet to pay any deposit or do any fundraising.  Please get a payment in right away!  Contact me with any questions about finances.
