One of the most important fundraisers we do each year is working the concessions stand at football and soccer games. These games are crucial to putting the band on the field and last year raised about $17,000. The goal of this letter is to inform you of some of the new procedures taking place and to generate some help in working the numerous games throughout the season. We need tons of parent support on the games as this is our largest fundraiser and we cannot afford to loose the stands to other organizations within Dixie. One quick note about concessions, the athletic director is pretty adamant about keeping the stadium clean. Unfortunately this is the band's responsibility and I am just asking that if you work a concession game to please help him clean the stands after the games and empty the trash. We had a lot of help this evening and it went very fast. The soccer games are usually slow enough to start on the trash before the game is actually over. Please see the Calendar - "All other Band Business" (Click Here) for works slots that are needed. VARSITY FOOTBALL GAMES These games are extremely busy and we have had a great turnout of parent volunteers. To streamline the games we are creating a set amount of people to man each booth. If you are interested in helping out, please sign up to work by contacting Lori Lietzenmayer Cell 513-616-3396 . We use both concession stands and offer our full menu of products. Do not feel intimidated if you have never worked before, there will be someone to help you and even though it is work, it is also fun. At the end of varsity games the band students and parent volunteers help in cleaning up the stadium. If everyone pitches in this might last 30 minutes past the end of the game. SOCCER & JV/ FRESHMAN FOOTBALL GAMES While the varsity football games require the most amount of help, we also work during soccer games and JV and freshman football games. The money raised at these numerous events really adds up and it is vital to keeping the concession stands in the band’s control. The goal of each of these games is to have about 3 workers running the stands. The menu during these games is very limited and we only use the Upper Stand (the one next to the bleachers). These games do not draw huge crowds, but enough to make it worth running the booth. The following steps have been done to make working these games a little less intimidating. Students are also allowed to work the stand, when there are not practices. A few games that will be critical are the games that take place on days of band competitions. The website calendar will have all of this listed. I know this is a lot of information and may seem overwhelming, however together we will make this concession season a success. I appreciate the work you put into this organization and I am 100% aware that this would not be possible without the support of the parents and friends of the band. Thank you in advance for any time you will be willing to give us in this endeavor. Many Thanks, Robb Duddey |
