2010 – 2011 Bandwich Schedule
New Bandwich Order Procedure

NEW ORDER PROCEDURE FOR BAND MEMBERS!!!

Beginning with the August orders, we are excited to introduce our new on-line procedure for band members to place their Bandwich orders. This new procedure will help ensure order accuracy and provide extended time for band members to their place orders.

We will no longer be accepting order forms in the Bandroom green mailboxes.

This internal site is intended only for band members to place their sale orders in place of previously used paper forms and not intended for general public use.

On - Line Prcedure:

1. Go to www.bandstanders.info
2. Choose the “Bandwich” link at the top of the homepage
3. Complete the information requested on the order page and click “submit”
4. Order must be submitted on-line by 6:00pm, on the Monday prior to the day Bandwiches are made

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have already submitted your order, but need to make a change, simply re-enter your entire revised order prior to the 6:00pm Monday deadline. The revised order will be then be recorded and any previously submitted order deleted.

Tournament of Roses Parade Fundraiser Raffle
Camaro, Caribbean Cruise and a Flat Screen TV

The Raffle Rules, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) for Purchasers and Parents, Marketing Materials, and the Raffle announcement letter, can be found in the forms section of Bandstanders.com. The link for the forms page is on the navigation toolbar on the left.

Band Parents and Students:

We are pleased to announce our next Tournament of Roses Parade fundraiser, which is a raffle of a 2010 Camaro, Caribbean cruise and a flat screen TV. A raffle was a big money maker for the 2005 Rose Parade trip and we hope to build on that success. Raffle tickets will be distributed to parents at the upcoming Band Banquet and 8th grade concert this coming Tuesday and Wednesday. Raffle sales should commence immediately and will continue through the summer with the president of the Tournament of Roses parade selecting the winning tickets Labor Day weekend.

We are requesting each student sell at least 20 raffle tickets. If you sell your full initial allotment of 20 tickets and need more tickets, return the sold ticket stubs and full payment in the envelope provided to the green boxes in the band rooms or at a designated Bandstanders event, and request an additional tickets. Additional tickets will be made available on a first come, first serve basis. If you are unable to sell your full allotment, please return your sold ticket stubs and related payment, along with any unsold tickets as soon as you have exhausted your sales efforts. This will allow us to make additional tickets available to others. We do plan on providing sales opportunities for students at local stores or events. Ticket stubs and payment should be returned as soon as a complete book is sold. All ticket stubs and money must be returned by Monday, August 30.

The raffle is structured to benefit those students that sell the most tickets with 90% of the net proceeds going to your student’s account after costs. Each raffle ticket will cost $25. Since our costs are relatively fixed, the more tickets we sell as a group, the more each student will earn per ticket. We expect the student credit to range from $15 to $18 per ticket sold. If you sell your full allotment of 20 tickets, your student’s account will benefit by an estimated $300 to $360. To help you make upcoming trip deposit payments that are required prior to the end of this fundraiser, if you sell your full allocation and return it early, your students account will be immediately credited with $15 per ticket sold. After the fundraiser is completed and we know the total sales and costs, your student’s account will be credited for any additional amount.

As you can see, this fundraiser has the opportunity to significantly reduce your student’s trip cost just in time for the upcoming deposit dates. Please see the FAQ’s and Raffle Rules documents for more information on the raffle. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me, Jeff Rodgers or Peggy Duffield.

Sincerely,
Bruce Steinke
Chairman
Tournament of Roses Fundraising Committee
