SoFi, Picture Day, and Holidays
Help us wrap our new trailer!
We are doing a great job!
We are now about $400 short of our $4000 goal and are on a production timeline with a company to wrap the trailer, with the goal of having it done before our season ends. We need to raise this $400 before we move forward.
Let’s keep pushing! Remember, if you donate $25 or more, your name will be immortalized on the inside of the trailer.
You may now make transactions through the Store tab on our website. To donate to the trailer fund, click trailer fund donation, change the quantity to however much you want to donate, and pay with any major credit card or PayPal.
Winter Programs
If you plan on participating in Winter Drumline or Winter Guard, please put November 9th on your calendar for a mandatory parent meeting. We will discuss schedule, fundraising, program donations, expectations for the season, etc.
Also, please note that the wreath and See’s fundraisers can help you pay for your donation for these programs! We try to keep costs as low as possible, but donations are typically $600-$800. Please plan your participation in our holiday fundraisers accordingly!

Holiday Fundraisers!
Happy Holidays!
On 10/20, we begin our next fundraiser: Holiday Wreaths and See’s Candy!
These fundraisers are not required; they are set up to help pay for outstanding donations as well as prepare for the Winter Guard and Drumline. I encourage all students to take advantage of this opportunity because it is the biggest fundraiser left in the school year!
Due Date for Fundraisers
Payments and order forms must be submitted by Friday, November 2nd (no exceptions). That gives you three weeks to reach out to family and friends to presale the wreaths and candy!
Additional copies of the order forms will be distributed next week after practice.
Profit
Wreaths: 35%–40%, depending on overall sales
See’s Candy: 20%–30%, depending on overall sales
Distribution Date
This will depend on when the company ships the order. We're shooting for 1-2 weeks after Thanksgiving.
Students will be required to pick up their products in the band room and then distribute them to their purchasers. We will notify parents of pick-up dates for both the Wreaths and See’s.
Trunk or Treat
Please join us for our annual Trunk or Treat on October 30th after practice. This is an ROG tradition, and we look forward to having as many trunks as possible. Please sign up ahead of time so we can prepare for the event. Please drop off any candy donations the day of the trunk or treat.
