Blues Ticket Sales Extended!
Friday, February 3, 2012

Thank you for the late surge in ticket sales! We are 44 tickets short of our commitment to the St. Louis Blues, but we feel we can take advantage of the hottest ticket in town to reach our fundraising goal: $1500. As we were reminded by Bruce Steinke, our Fundraising Chairman, falling short of our fundraising target has a negative impact on band fees. Without this fundraiser, band fees would increase by $6 per band member (assuming 250 band members). General fundrasing efforts like this go a long way toward keeping band fees as low as possible to support our band program.

Even if you are not a hockey fan or a Blues season ticket holder, please consider forwarding the information below the dashes (===) to friends, family, and co-workers -- feel free to revise to your liking. Chance are someone you know may be interested in seeing the St. Louis Blues in action. If we all do a little to spread the word, we should have these 44 tickets sold before game day.

2012 Trivia Night
Saturday, February 25, 2012

Our Bandstanders third annual Trivia Night is back. Selling seats to the Bandstanders Trivia Night is a great opportunity to add to your student’s account and help pay for band fees. Individual seats are $25 a piece, or $200 for a full table. Your student’s account will get credited for 90% of your net seat sale proceeds, after all costs. We estimate this will be $12 to $14 per seat. A total of 35 tables of 8 players each are available. You can sell a whole table or individual seats. The evening will also include a silent auction and 50/50 raffles with proceeds benefiting our general fund.

Trivia Night will be on Saturday, February 25 at 7:00 p.m. at the Royale Orleans Banquet Center (2801 Telegraph Road). Our Emcee will again be Bill Clevlen from 550 KTRS radio. Beverages are included in the price and prizes will be awarded.

The night will be a lot of fun so invite all of your friends, neighbors and relatives to fill up a table or two. To reserve a table, or individual seats, or for any questions, e-mail Heidi Fisher at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . All seats will be sold on a first come, first serve basis and are not confirmed until payment and the attached order form are received. Order forms and payments may be dropped in the green mail box in the Band room. You may also turn in your order and receive a confirmation of your reservation from Heidi at the January and February Band Parent Meetings or the February Bandwich sale. Reservations can be paid for by cash or check payable to Bandstanders. Checks will only be accepted from Band families.

Tables not filled with 8 persons will be considered individual seats and will be grouped with others to create a full table, if possible. This will be done at the discretion of the fundraising committee.

Webb City Competition
Additional Funding Needed

When the band packets were distributed last April everyone was notified that:

“If an additional night stay is needed or if the school district is unable to cover the entire transportation cost, an additional fee will be collected at a later date.”

Well, the district is covering the bulk of the cost of the busses for the Webb City competition but we still need to collect an additional $10 per band member.

Please send in the $10 fee per band member as soon as you are able. If you are writing a check, make it out to “Bandstanders” and be sure your band members name is on it.

You can either put it in the green mailbox in the band room or mail it to my home address below.

Thanks for your help!
