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!

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!

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
