02-Mar-10:  We’re pleased to announce that, based on the higher than expected number of travelers on the Disney10 trip, we have a surplus in our Trip Account. The Band Boosters Trip Committee thought it appropriate to distribute the bulk of this surplus back to the folks on the trip. So we are pleased to announce that the surplus amounts to $45 per traveler! (Too bad the Disney10 Trip Committee isn’t running the government….!)

In an attempt to respond to the various travelers’ financial interests, to raise awareness of our RamBand Scrip program, and to avoid imposing an unduly burdensome bookkeeping task on the Band Boosters financial officers, we are providing you a choice of one of three options for disbursement of the funds, which will apply to your entire traveling party. Click here for the Surplus Funds Election Form and return it to the Disney10 Box in the Band Room by March 12th. If we don’t receive your form by then, we’ll credit the surplus into your Student Account.

25-Feb-10:  This year the Senators will unveil the final phase of the $45 million dollar renovation of their ballpark on picturesque City Island.  The updates include the boardwalk area, a state-of-the-art video system, an all-new Kids Zone, and more concession areas with more food options.

We think lots of people are going to want to check out the new ballpark.  So we’ve decided to provide our families the fundraising opportunity of selling ticket vouchers, which are valid for any of the 71 home games the Harrisburg Senators will play this year.  Simply present the voucher at the Senators Box Office on City Island and choose your Box Seat.  For a copy of the Senators 2010 schedule and a glimpse of their new stadium, check out their web site, www.senatorsbaseball.com.

We will be selling Box Seat vouchers for $8.00/each ($1.00 below their face value).  You’ll get $2.00 for your Student Account for each voucher you sell; $1.00 goes to the Band Boosters for the general fund.  Click here for a letter your student should have brought home.  And click here for the Ticket Voucher Order form.
