Have you got a bunch of stuff that you wish you could get rid of and you know could be useful to someone else.....

PERFECT!

Bring that stuff up to FCHS this Saturday (Novermber 22nd) for our first:

BAND YARD SALE

TO HELP RAISE MONEY FOR
NEW MARCHING BAND UNIFORMS!!!

We'll be setting up the tables as early as 7:15am and plan on opening up shop by 8:00. The expected closing time is currently 3:00pm. A sign-up sheet is up in the Band Room asking for student volunteers to assist in the running of this event. The day is broken into two (2) shifts: 8:00am - 11:30 (with help setting up), and 11:30am - 3:00pm (with help tearing down).
We appreciate all of the help that we can get!


The only requirements are:

- YOU have the materials transported up to the school (no service will be provided)
- Prices of each item should be clearly labeled on items before arrival
- Anything left at closing time that does not sell is going "bye-bye". If you want anything back if it does not sell, then you need to be up here at the closing time(*) to retrieve it. Nothing will be stored in the Band Room over the weekend.

(*) - 3:00pm is the estimated time of closing for this event. If traffic becomes light, the parents "on duty" reserve the right to close up early if they feel it necessary. If you plan on coming up to retrieve any items, please either volunteer your time or ask someone to call you in case we close up early. If you just show up at 3:00, your stuff may be gone.

Thanks, everyone, for your enormous support with this task!!!!
