Competition Food —Big Cat Marching Festival
Hello from the Food Committee!
A HUGE thanks to all of the super helpers at Legacy last Sunday. With only an hour or so we made sure all the kids (and most of the volunteers) had food in their bellies!
This week, as we head to Big Cat, the clarinet section is helping out with dinner. We are serving scrambled eggs, potatoes, and turkey sausages. (With dietary needs options too).

Each Butter Braid product sells for $13.00-$14.00, Gluten-Free Cookie Dough sells for $13.00, and Coda coffee $16. For every product sold, 40% of the sale goes to that student’s account.

8th Grade Chili Night—Friday, 10/14/2022 @ 4:30 pm
Our annual 8th grade chili night is October 14, 2022. It is an opportunity for our middle-schooler (8thers) to come and sit among the marching band members and enjoy the band experience and Hopefully recruit them! To make it successful, We so NEED your assistance. Please review the sign-up below for where we need help.
Unfortunately, the food being served is only for current and prospective band students and volunteers. It is not one of our family events.
Please consider volunteering to bring chili, sides, and supplies or volunteer your time using this 8thGradeChiliNight_SignUpGenius
Go Creek! Go Band!
