KC ROYALS FUNDRAISER
We have the opportunity to sell ticket packages for the upcoming season for a fraction of the cost to the public. For each $49.99 ticket package ($500 value) you sell, your student ledger will be credited $15. I know many of you enjoy going to the games and may find this to be an attractive opportunity for your family. If you’re not game goers, perhaps you know someone that is. This opportunity is open to all students, including current 8th graders!
If you are interested in selling these packages, please email me. For each student that would like to participate, I will create an account login to the system that we will use, and give detailed instructions regarding the process.
There are a few stipulations regarding how we advertise this fundraiser. Major League Baseball and the Kansas City Royals will not allow us to promote through public social media (Craig’s List, eBay etc.) or any ticket brokers. You may use personal email, and sales flyers as this promotion is not to be found on the open Internet. I clarified with the group offering the fundraiser and we are able to utilize our own personal facebook pages as well.
Attached below is a flyer that outlines the packages. You are welcome to use this as a marketing tool! This sale will run through the end of March unless you are notified that it has been extended.

VOLUNTEER CREDIT SYSTEM
The volunteer credit system is designed to increase parent involvement, promote fairness and spread volunteer duties throughout the band program. The volunteer credit program will apply to all registered BVW Competitive Band, Color and/or Winter Guard students for the 2018-2019 band calendar. The credit program will apply to all events that the band program hosts or attends. This program works by establishing a specific numeric value for a specific volunteer duty or donation. Each family will have the opportunity to earn discounts off of their CMB or Winter Guard fees.
