As you all should know by now, we are working on planning a Marching Band trip during the spring of 2016. One of our upcoming fundraisers for this trip is a basket raffle. We are asking the members of each Marching Band section to contribute items for these baskets. We have listed suggested items for each basket below. These are just suggestions. Please feel free to add your own creative ideas, but please keep with the themes listed. The raffle will be held on Thursday, May 7th at the All-City Band event. We ask that you please send your donations to school with the students. If you would prefer not to send the item(s) to school, you may contact me to make arrangements to drop them off at my house. Also, if you would prefer to just make a donation (cash or check payable to NOBOB) you may do that and we will purchase additional items for the baskets. We need all the items by Monday, May 4th, which gives you just about one week. If you would like to help put the baskets together, we will be meeting to do that in the band hall on Wednesday, May 6th at 6:00 p.m. The basket themes are as follows:
