Hello Band Families!

I hope you had a successful first week back from break and are ready for the final push to the end of school year! 

Band Kickball is back! This Saturday, we will be hosting kickball, starting in the band room, followed by lunch in the band room! If you will be joining us, please fill out this google form by 8am on Friday. 

The marching band schedule for next season is ready! Please click here to view it. If there are any changes, they will be communicated via eblast and google classroom as soon as possible. 

Speaking of marching band… on Monday, April 14th at 4:00, we will be revealing the theme for the 2025 show! This week, we will be putting together Instagram reels with students guessing what the theme is going to be. If you’d like to be in one of these reels, please fill out this google form so I know to find you during the week!

Fundraising

Big Fundraising Earners!
The families of Ray Kay, Madison Gleason, Haneen Husain, Simone and Lily Johnson, and Evan Bauerschmidt have taken advantage of the new fundraising program, Raise Right. By purchasing gift cards on everyday spending, they are earning money for their students to travel with the band and support the band program. 

Do you want to start earning money for your student too? Go to the Raise Right website and set up your account. Our GBS Band enrollment code is IWRY7KRY7VLZ. 

For the rebates that are earned through RaiseRight, 75% will go into your child’s band account. The remaining 25% will support the band program.

If you have any questions, reach out to Lauren Bauerschmidt at gbsbandfundraising@gmail.com.
