THANK YOU to our fantastic supporters!

 There's still time to donate to your
favorite marching band...
Details are below...☺

The goal in this venture is three-fold:
● First and foremost, we want to provide entertainment for the supporters of our program.
● Secondly, we want to gain exposure from the supporters of our program.
● Lastly, we are going to use this as an opportunity to raise funds for the 2010-2011 school year. The members of the band will be accepting pledges or donations (donations recommended) for total marching distance.

We will kick off the fundraiser part of the activity with the students on the first day of summer band. As this is a mandatory activity for the all members of the band and color guard, we encourage everyone to get out there and get pledges/donations from their friends and families. We will be asking each student to raise a minimum of $50.00 in pledges. Even if only ten family members, neighbors, and friends donate $5.00 each, that goal would be easily accomplished. The beauty of this fundraiser is that it is PURE PROFIT!!! We have a great opportunity to make a considerable amount of money for the band program to keep doing all the great things you’ve known and loved from the JET Band over the years.  Click here for the pledge form students can use to record their pledges/donations. 

IMPORTANT UPDATE:  WOW....We've sold out ALL out allotted times for playing Mini-Concerts along the Parade Route!  The support from the community has been amazing.  We welcome your donations & pledges... remember to look for us in your neighborhood on August 14th.  THANK YOU!!!
