Marching Band Section leaders,
Welcome back to CCHS Marching Band! For returning students, this is something you are quite familiar with; and for new members, please know that the auction is our largest fundraiser, and we so need you and your assistance! Please reach out to your team members in your section. We are here to assist with idea themes and the kick-off donations for each of your sections for our fabulous Auction (coming – check date of 9/28)!
As you may or may not know each section of band chooses a theme and is responsible for collecting items for that basket or box to fill to be bid on at auction. Your section might always choose the same theme or perhaps want a new one, either way, you Must send us what you choose because ahead of moving forward because we cannot have multiple sections choose the same theme. Please send those emails to mikleton20@msn.com or text 303.907.9577 and you will receive a confirmation that your theme is available.
Next, your theme of donations needs to be placed in a nice basket (if it will fit) or a wrapped up on the sides of a box (if it will fit), but basically something to make them look appeasing to the eye. You have 2 options to get them to us:
1) bring to school and can be picked up after a practice by mom or dad Mikleton (parents of Vivian in color guard or Aurick in pit in the parking lot). PLEASE bring to the car and if need be you can text and we will let you know who is picking up on said day with what car.
2) drop off at location of 11092 E Fair Circle, Englewood
3) those 2 options do not work, contact me and we will figure something out (mikleton20@msn.com)
Please have your section’s items brought to school or home address by September 17th.
Possible theme ideas:
- Get Active – sports of any or multiple kinds or just work out items – warmers, water bottles, chair, any items that would be used in a sport or watching a sport
