Toys for Tots
Monday, November 28, 2011 at 12:53PM All
We will be performing again for the Toys for Tots campaign on Saturday December 3 at Space mart Self Storage on Commonwealth Center Parkway.
Our timeline will look like this:
1:00 report to Space Mart. We will play Christmas Carols from books provided to you. No rehearsal will be needed--just "read and go". The music is sight-readable by all!! We will play for a while, eat for a while, and play a little bit more. We will be done at or before 3:00.
Food, hot chocolate, and Santa Claus will be there!!! Every band member that brings a toy to donate will receive a chance to win a $100.00 Apple store gift card!! The more toys you donate, the more chances you have to win.
The time you give here (2 hours) will be usable for honor societies and service clubs community service hours. In addition, all performers will be given bountiful extra credit for their second quarter band grade.
The manager of Space mart--John Poss--is a major benefactor of our band program. The truck that he allows us to use, free of charge, has saved us thousands of dollars over the years. Like last year when we went on the cruise, he will be allowing us to take their truck to Florida, for free, which has saved you money in trip costs!!!! This is a great way to say thank you to him, and to support the United States Marine Corps Toys for Tots drive.
Plus, those there will have a great time as we did last year!!!!
