YOU ARE INVITED...to a fun filled fundraising event

Hello Band Family,

You are personally invited to join us for one of these fun filled fundraising days at the Air Force Academy.   We still have plenty of slots open for both Air Force Concessions we hope that you will consider joining us. 
  • Mr. Hedding talked about in the marching meetings this past week that Air Force Concessions is not only a fun fundraiser but an experience that helps bond us together as a band family. 
  • These two sessions will help raise some funds that will help cover some of the expenses that we incur over the summer. 
  •  Please check your calendar and see if you can join us on either of the dates. May 23rd or June 2 
  •  Encourage your child (16 or over) to volunteer as well.
    • They can get a running start on earning volunteer hours for next year 
    • Papers with a  QR code are hanging on Mr. Hedding's door for students to sign up.  
  • Sign up for Air Force Graduation - May 23rd  6 am - 3 pm  HERE
  • Sign up for the Warrior Games/Kelly Clarkson Concert - June 2  4 pm - 10 pm  HERE 
I am looking forward to seeing a lot of you at the band banquet tonight.   
 
Thank you so much for considering

Dear Band Families

Our End of Year Banquet is quickly approaching this Friday evening at the Falcon Club.  With that, we would also like to honor our staff and especially be able to say goodbye to Mrs. Matzke.  Although a gift is not required, when we put our funds together, we can get some very nice things.  We give to Mr. Hedding, Mrs. Matzke and our other staff who have assisted our kids throughout the year.  If you would like to make a donation toward end of year staff gifts, please do so by this Thursday, May 10 by placing an envelope in the Red Mailbox and mark it as STAFF GIFTS.

Thank you for your continued support of our beloved staff.

Renee Deichman
President

You won't want to miss 'A Moment Like This' ... Concessions with Kelly Clarkson 6/2/18 - May 7th email

Good Morning Band friends,

I hope you had an excellent weekend and have enjoyed the warm weather!

Last week I let you know about our wonderful opportunity to raise funds for our band by running a concession stand for the Air Force Graduation on May 23rd.  We are still in a need of volunteers for that date.  You can sign up by pressing the link here.  If it is at all possible in your schedule, I would love to see you there for a fun filled rewarding day.

Also we have been asked to run the concession stand for the Warrior Games Opening Ceremony and concert with Kelly Clarkson on June 2, 2018! 
 Here are the TOP 5 REASONS WHY this would be a great time to volunteer for this event.   ;-)
  •   5.   You don't want to miss " A Moment Like This' 
    • and other songs by Kelly Clarkson
  •   4.   This is Last AFA concession opportunity until next winter (at least as far as I know)
    • so don't be shy...consider this a personal invitation from me. :-)
  •   3.   The concert is free... 
    • which means attendees have more money to spend on concessions. which means more opportunity for us to earn more money!
  •   2.   We have been assigned the more profitable concession stand.
    •  and more profit from fundraisers like this keeps what we have to pay out of pocket each year lower than it could be.
  •   1.   You get know others in the band family. 
    •   We have a pretty awesome booster organization and we have some amazing parents and even more amazing kids. 
    •   If you haven't had a chance to get to know some of the band family, there is no better way to bond with someone than by working side by side
    •  As Mrs. Matzke has said in the past "Who knows you may meet your new best friend?... or get to know your kids' friends."

Please read the additional information below carefully and sign up by clicking the link here .   Students (16 and over) can also sign up by using the QR code on Mr. Hedding's door.  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.  

Thank you so much for taking these opportunities in to consideration,
Reeda Baturevich
2nd VP
