Band Booster Meeting Sept 10

We will have our monthly Band Booster Meeting on Tuesday, September 10 at 7:00 in the band hall. We will discuss the march-a-thon and other fund raisers coming up. PLEASE if you have not turned in your pledges/donations bring them in on Monday and Tuesday mornings. We will annouce the 2 students who collected the most donations and award prizes at the meeting. We are also still trying to collect missing paperwork on some students as well as band fees. On Friday night we travel to Brewer High School for our game. We are still in need of chaperons for this game and others. You can sign up at the meeting. The band will also be marching in a parade on Saturday morning (Sept.14). More details will come from Mr. Wiebers. I would like to thank all the parents, grandparents,friends, neighbors and others who help make this march-a-thon a success this year. It takes lots of hands (a tired feet) to make this happen. Thanks to the Paschal Band Boosters for their help and support this year. And a special thanks for Paschal Parent Karen Fetter for helping our kids get the notices out to the neighborhood. See you on Tuesday night at the meeting.

BAND!! ATTENTION!

It's the final week of rounding up pledges and donations for the march-a-thon. Please talk to your family, friends, neighbors, work, etc. and secure those pledges now. Pledge sheets and money are due on Friday, September 6. Place sheets and money/checks in a sealed envelope marked "march-a-thon" and turn into Mr. Wiebers. The top two students bringing in the most pledge money (must be at least $100) will receive prizes. Remember, the march-a-thon is Saturday morning, Sept. 7. Be there and join the parade! Parents, siblings, friends, and neighbors-invite them all to come out and watch as we rock our neighborhood and Hulen.

AHHS Yellow Jacket Band March-A-Thon

Arlington Heights High School Band Booster Club

4501 West Freeway, Fort Worth, TX  76107

The AHHS Yellow Jacket Marching Band will be marching and performing in a parade on Saturday, September 7, 2013.  Our route will take us from our school through our neighborhood and down Hulen Street ending at Hulen and Bellaire Drive.  Along this route you will observe music, marching, and color guard performances. We will step off at 9:00 A.M. and finish up at 12:00 P.M.

This march-a-thon will be one of our fund raisers for this year to support our band and color guard throughout the marching season and on through our spring concert season as well.  Each year we encounter expenses that FWISD does not cover, and our band and band boosters work to raise the funds we need to keep this organization strong.

Each band and color guard member works hard to perfect our music and shows for not only football games, but parades, UIL, and concert season performances.  We need support from our AHHS neighbors and friends to “keep the music going.”

Supporters who pledge $500 or more will have their business featured here on our Band Blog Page for this school year.  This blog is the information center for our band members and their parents.

We also welcome pledges of other amounts and will be very grateful for your support this year of our Yellow Jacket Band.

Arlington Heights High School Band Booster Club is a 501©3 non-profit organization.  All donations to our general fund are tax deductable.
