Spirit of McIntosh BAND CAMP 2010
Away Camp...was
an exciting experience and the marchers did such a great job there
learning the new show! What an accomplishment!! Also their behavior was
so good that different people on the college campus told us
(chaperones) what a nice group of kids you all were!
Thank
you all the parents for their generous donation of snacks and food,
helping hands, and their time to make the band camp a success.
New camp pictures are being posted on the website daily. Click here to check out our photo gallery!

2010-07-28 | | | | Concessions 
In
preparation for the upcoming football season, the concessions committee is
again asking each Marching Band family to donate 1 case of 16.9 ounce
bottles of Dasani water
to sell in the concession stand this fall. We did this for the first
time last year and it was a huge success! Please send only the Dasani brand.
The FCBOE has a contract with Coca-Cola and per this contract we
cannot sell anything other than Coke products anywhere on the school
grounds. We are also asking for volunteers to work at this year’s
football home games. See our fundraising page for more information. If you are interested please contact Don Stanley
at donstanleyjr@gmail.com. Water may be dropped off at the band room. Thanks for your help in advance!

2010-07-14 | | | |  New Kroger
Fundraising Program
Since the Scrip fundraiser does not include grocery
stores and Kroger has eliminated the Kroger Earning Plus Learning
Program (which earned us approximately $1,200 a year), the McIntosh Band
Booster Board is now offering a new Kroger fundraiser. Every time we
place an order with Kroger of at least $500 in gift cards, we get to
keep 5%. That's just 5 families who order $100 each per week! I
KNOW we all spend much more than that at Kroger. If we had 20
families order $100 each week for an entire school year, the band would
net an easy $3,600. Just like Scrip, 70% of the Kroger Card Program
funds will go to the student account and 30% will go into the general
band fund. Click here to download an order form.
Parents can contact Michelle DuPuis for more information at
