Antelope Band Tours D.C.
June 12 to June 17, 2017
The Itinerary
Fundraising
• Students are not required to fundraise. The more work done by the student/parents, the less that individual will have to pay out of pocket.
• Primary contact on fundraising will be done through Cheri Liess. She has taken point with the Abernathy Band Parents.
• In the event of multiple children, fundraising profits are assigned to the eldest child first.
Fundraising
• How funds are allotted:–Cheri Liess keeps track of the number of
man-hours worked by each student/parent–At the conclusion of the event, profits are
totaled and assigned according to the number of hours worked.
Fundraising, cont…• Student times are voluntary. – If a student is ineligible, has a test, or is
behaving in “a less than Antelope manner” they may not be allowed to work during class. Mrs. Knight is in contact with the teachers and will be contacted if a student needs to be in class rather than working the fundraiser.
Fundraising-a note from Cheri
PLEASE, make sure we have your correct email address. If you do not have an email address, I encourage you to sign up for a free one. We will NOT send you spam, but that is the easiest way to communicate with the numbers of parents that we need to. All fundraising information will be emailed. Notifications of that e-mail will be provided via the Abernathy Band Facebook page.
Upcoming Fundraising Events
• Elementary UIL—December 3• Christmas Parade—Hot Chocolate??? Dec. 9• Concert Meal—December 17• All-Region Auditions—January 14• Track Concessions—late March (hopefully)• Abernathy Band Festival—April 28-30
Fundraising Ideas/Parent Run
• 8th Grade parents and 9-11 parents may fundraise on their own, but Mr. Knight and Miss Burrell must be aware of any fundraising events. Monies earned must be deposited into the band trip account through the band directors. This money will be credited to the accounts of the students involved in the fundraiser. Any “group fundraisers” must be made available to any student in that specified group.
How We Travel

don’t pack it.• Flying to DC. Info to come on whether we will
