2008 Gift Wrapping Event
Gift Wrap Schedule: Click Here for a Google Doc with Calendar
Please notice that at the bottom of the screen the tabs are noted as either (B) Band or (S) Sports days. We can't operate this awesome fundraiser without the help of our fantastic parent volunteers. Don't forget, students can help too with an adult. As we have a contract with the Mall it is critical to have every shift staffed with
2 adults at all times. Otherwise, we loose this opportunity for future fundraising.
For all Band parents please contact one of the parents below to schedule.
Gift Wrap Concession at the Concord Mall is our primary fundraiser for countless years . Last year Band Boosters raised thousands
of dollars in profit that benefits the many support activities of the Band and Tiger (sports) Boosters.
We are lucky to have this Gift Wrap concession, which is essentially a place of business which we agree to staff and keep open every hour the mall is open between Black Friday and 6 PM on Christmas Eve. A handful of parent volunteers who run this “Gift Wrap Shop” contribute an unbelievable amount of hours to organize this project. What we ask from all of the A.I. Band families is that each family fill one shift of 2 (or 3) hours in length for each child you have in the band. Band Boosters staff half of the days (this year the even numbered days) and Tiger Boosters (sports teams) staff the other half (this year the odd numbered days).
If you have a child in sports and in band (which most people do), you are asked to work one shift for each sport in which your child participates, and (as stated before) one shift for each child that is in the band. All of the money collected is split evenly between Tiger Boosters and Band Boosters, after the expenses are paid. We realize that it is a busy time of the year but we think these valuable activities AND OUR KIDS are worth it!
If you haven't yet signed up for a shift, and are willing to do so, please contact Karrie Erskine by email kke1966@gmail.com. We hope that you will help as much as you can! Most people think that it is a lot of fun, as well. Thank you in advance.
Brick Paver Project
We are beautifying the stadium entrance with a new patio area and we invite you to engrave one or more bricks in honor of loved ones. They make perfect graduation, birthday, holiday and coaches' gifts! Please print the reservation form for engraving patio pavers and submit to committee chair Tom Bowers. (tabowers12@verizon.net)
2008 Annual Band Sub Dinner -Friday, September 26 @ 5:00 PM!
Way more than an annual tradition, a true “Rite of Passage” includes attending the SUB DINNER in our A.I. DuPont High School cafeteria. This is an excellent opportunity for families--both old and new--to meet, chat and begin the fall sports season by joining together with our Boosters. You will also have the opportunity to sign up for all of this year’s special events!
Bring your family, friends, grandparents, aunts, uncles and a finger dessert to share. Following dinner we will proceed to the stadium and cheer for the Tiger football team as they compete against Sussex Tech. At half time, we will be entertained by the fabulous A. I. Tiger Marching Band.
