Panther Band Journal: Week of 10/27

Senior Night Home Football Game On Thursday
Our final home football game of the season is this Thursday, and it's Senior Night! All of our Band and Color Guard seniors will be recognized during a pre-game ceremony at Jackie Hendricks Stadium. Details for the recognition ceremony are still being finalized, and these will be communicated to our seniors and their families as soon as we have them.
Please see the itinerary below for details about this Thursday's game. NOTE: THE ITINERARY MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED ONCE DETAILS FOR THE SENIOR RECOGNITION CEREMONY ARE KNOWN. ANY CHANGES TO THE ITINERARY WILL BE CHANGED ON THE DOCUMENT AND DISCUSSED IN CLASSES.

Poppin Popcorn Fundraiser
The Princeton Band & Color Guard launched our Poppin Popcorn fundraiser last week. Packets containing detailed instructions and order sheets were distributed to students during their Band or Color Guard class. Please take time to talk through the materials as a family if you intend to participate in the fundraiser.
The program is selling 1 gallon resealable bags of flavored popcorn for $20 each. For each bag of popcorn sold, the student will receive $8 credit towards trip payments or other program costs.
Popcorn can be sold in two different ways (you can and should do both!):
- Ordering in person by filling out the order form and paying via cash, check, or card (instructions on the form). Every order must be paid for in advance.
- Register for online sales using the instructions in the packet so that out-of-town family and friends can purchase online. ONLINE SALES SHOULD NOT BE WRITTEN ON THE ORDER FORM - THEY ARE ACCOUNTED FOR SEPARATELY.
The fundraiser will end on Monday, November 3 - all forms and cash/checks must be turned in to band/color guard directors by 3:30pm on that day.
Prizes (all distributed after forms are collected):
- Sells 5 items - get a candy bar
- Sell 10 items - get entered into a drawing for $100 cash
- Sell 20 items - get a 1.9 pound bag of Sour Patch Kids
- Sell 40 items - get a $25 Amazon gift card
- Sell 55 items - "Pick A Wallet" (Choose one of 10 wallets. 9 of them contain $50 cash, one contains $100 cash)
- Top seller from the first day wins $50 cash
Participation in this fundraiser is not required, but we hope that it provides a useful opportunity for students and families to offset some trip or program costs.
