Membership Drive:
Join the Boosters!
Please
click here for this year’s Enrollment Form!
The
the 2010-11 Central Dauphin Band Boosters Association's Annual
Membership Drive started a few weeks ago. And now almost 2/3 of
the Marching Band members have signed up. Plus a bunch of families
who haven't even started school yet are signed up. But we're
still dozens of famlies shy of our goal. Marching Band folks: why not print out the Enrollment Form, grab your
checkbook, and get it ready to bring to practice? Concert, Jazz,
and Indoor ensemble members: please drop it in the mail today!
Last year we had over 100 families join our group. This year, our goal
is to have every single family with a student in a RamBand performing
ensemble (Marching, Indoor, Concert, or Jazz) join our organization.
And since Marching Band is the first group to convene and work together,
we're starting with you!
Please
click here for this year’s Enrollment Form and submit as soon as
possible.

Unofficial Band Parents' Handbook
The
RamBand and the Band Boosters are unimaginably busy! Without exaggeration,
there is something going on almost every week of the year. And for incoming
band families, sometimes it’s a lot to try to take in at once. Because the
RamBand family is so large (170+ students), it’s almost impossible to
contact everyone at once, so we thought it would be a good idea to try to
create this Handbook. This is not an “Official” Handbook, nor is it designed
to be a comprehensive list of Band Booster stuff. Mr. Ceresini provides his
Official Student Handbook to all students participating in a RamBand
ensemble at the beginning of the school year. Instead, the
“Unofficial” information will familiarize you with our Band Boosters
Association organization, its functions, projects, events, and committees.

for the Central Dauphin Band Boosters Association. It’s called “scrip,” and
it’s the fundraising program that works while you shop. Scrip is a term we
use to denote gift cards from national and local retailers-- they’re the
same gift cards that you'd buy at the store. But when you buy them from us,
you're helping the Central Dauphin Ram Band programs. Many popular retailers
participate in the RamBand Scrip program including Giant, Weis Markets,
Karns, Home Depot, Office Max, Rite Aid, Gap, Macy's, Sears, Borders, Pizza
Hut, Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Starbucks, and scores of others. We're
talking about money you're going to spend anyway!
RamBand Scrip Upcoming Order & Pickup Dates
So, in that sense, RamBand Scrip is "shopping cart fundraising”
that costs you nothing except a little bit of time to plan ahead. RamBand
Scrip Upcoming Order & Pickup Dates The more you shop, the more you raise
. . . Scrip revenue adds up fast, because each item you purchase with scrip
accrues a little bit for the RamBand. Carmel Macchiato at Starbucks? Yep.
Wendy's Bacon Double Cheeseburger? Indeed. New pair of jeans from the
Gap? Uh-huh. Home improvement supplies from Home Depot? Check. Canoe
from LL Bean? Sure! Tank of gas from Sheetz? Yesirree, Bob. So,
