Calling All Band Parents and Band Students!

Here we go!!  The 6^th Annual Band Boosters Craft Fair – Once Upon A December Boutique on Saturday December 10^th.

This is one of our largest events in fundraising for the year!  This is not like the Fireworks – only 1 and ½ days of help!  I hope to see all of our Band Parents there!  To date - we have over 80+ vendors!  Concession this year will be provided by the Orchestra/Performing Arts! We are excited to team up with this group!  

For this to be a success and to have the Vendors sign up for next year - it will require a very large amount of Band Booster Volunteers, Students and your Support!  This year is a huge challenge!  We will be losing our “elves” from 12:00 – 3:00 on Saturday so they can March in the Carriage Parade.  So as you can see – we do have a challenge!  Also, to move the Vendors in and out - if we have Parents that have “dollies” that they can bring that would be awesome! If you are planning on going to the Carriage Parade, we will provide you with flyers to pass out to the crowd!    

So please mark your calendars and sign up on this link:  Craft Fair Sign Up   Yes, you can sign up for more than one shift! And if you can help with the Bake Sale, please contact Karla.abell@comcast.net.   

Even if the shifts are full, we are happy to have Bonus Helpers during all move in and move out times!  

There will be a volunteer sign up booth both for Friday and Saturday, this is a great time to finish up on those participation points!  Even if you cannot stay the entire assigned shift, your help will be greatly appreciated.

For all Vendor move in and move out assistance – PLEASE DRESS WARM!  You will be going in and out of the School.  Don’t Forget to attend the Craft Fair with over 80 vendors, you should be able to finish up your Holiday Shopping List bring your family, friends and neighbors, tell everyone you know!  Plus enter the drawings for great gifts or the 7ft decorated tree!   

Any questions?  please email:  Eileen DeSpain edespain@skybeam.com or call: 303-840-2543

Weekly Update or it might be 2!! 

A very special Thank You to Mr. Pook for his wonderful pictures of the kids!  If you haven’t purchased pictures yet, please order them!  They are wonderful!  For only $10, you will get the two photos of your student and a group photo of the section in which your student belongs.  For only $15 you can receive the 4 disk set which contains all students!!!  If you are interested, please submit cash or a check, payable to CHS Band Boosters, to Mr. Hinman, and also e-mail - Lots Pook at pook22@comcast.net with your request.  These are awesome professional quality pictures!  I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed!

It’s…. beginning to look a lot like Christmas!  Yes, only 10 days to the Annual Band Boosters Craft Fair!  This is one of our largest fundraisers, and it takes a huge support of Band Booster Volunteers to help coordinate Friday night and Saturday during the fair.  For all the new Band Boosters, we set up on Friday night, decorate, assist vendors and place “signs” on the intersections to promote the Fair!  Then we set up very early on Saturday with the rest of the vendors, coordinate the raffle table and bake sale table.  Folks this is a fun event!  But it takes many wonderful volunteers to make this happen!  This year is a challenge, because the Marching Band will be in the Parker Carriage Parade….yes, the same day!  So all your help is greatly appreciated!  We are also in need of Bake Sale items, so for all you wonderful bakers – please use the attached link to volunteer for baked good items! Bake Sale Sign Up Or feel free to email Karla at: karla.abell@comcast.net for more information.  I will be sending a volunteer sign up form with details on times, help needed, etc.  in the next few days.  We are also looking for more donations of “winter” or “snowmen” ornaments for the Christmas Tree that we raffle off!  If you have some – please send them to school and give them to Devon DeSpain.

Auction Update – We had a great turn out for the Silent Auction – a very special THANK YOU to Elizabeth Lehr for all her help and hard work with this fundraiser!  I should have the totals soon and will let everyone know what we made on the Auction! 

Sponsorship Letters – We will be sending information on them in the next few weeks.  This is a requirement for the students and a great opportunity to “build” up your student’s account for future “trips” and band fees!  Watch for more details soon ….after the Craft Fair!

Coffee Update!  We have had an awesome response to the coffee sales!  The coffee company has created some wonderful Holiday Blends for us, and you can take advantage of selling them to your friends and work colleagues!  The “re-orders” have been unbelievable!  The coffee is awesome and again, a great  way to build up your student’s band account!  If you want to order more see the attached order form- Order Form.  The End Date has been extended to December 9^th and approx. delivery date December 14^th.  There will also be an option of purchasing the Holiday Blends at the Craft Show!
