Many thanks to everyone who helped make this weekend a success!  After sorting through and organizing mountains of “stuff” Friday afternoon and evening (the donations were truly overwhelming, thank you so much!!), we kicked off our sale at 9am Saturday and enjoyed a steady stream of customers throughout the day.  In all we made over $4,200 in profit, which is a new record (and the special band, choir, and orchestra memories, of course, were priceless…)!!  None of this would have been possible without your help and support; many thanks to all who donated items, refreshments, or your valuable time to help make this endeavor a success! 

Also, many special thanks to band parents Adriana Beaudreault, MariaElaina Cirone, Laura Lee Milhaven, Karen Menduni, Diane Racioppo and Lisa Statler for their tireless organizational, logistical, and advertising expertise!! 

SPECIAL THANKS to band parent Karen Menduni and orchestra parent Melissa Montaruli for their amazing work organizing all of the parent volunteers and working out so many of our logistical and planning details behind the scenes.  In addition, SPECIAL THANKS to Adriana Beaudreault for securing bountiful food donations from YPP and Bagel Emporium for our volunteers!

This, our largest fundraiser, is more than half over. Your participation is important! Even if your family is able to cover the entire cost of your student’s festival trip, that cost does not include participation fees for chaperones. We are required to fundraise to cover this expense.

Order forms are now available for download on Dashboard and www.yhsbands.com under “documents.”

Students who sold to faculty/staff on the YHS/MESMS/Admin campus: PLEASE REMEMBER to enter these faculty/staff orders on our on-line form https://my.yhsbands.com/forms/citrus

Students can access their on-line sales by visiting www.ifundraise.com/member and entering their six-digit personal ID#, which was distributed in class.

If you are interested in purchasing a box to donate, please make your purchase and e-mail Ms. Kluga the information. YHS Band parent Karen Menduni will be helping organize and deliver these donated boxes.

The links below will take you directly to our ensemble sale sites. To receive credit, customers can then select your student’s name from a drop-down menu during checkout.
