Tag Day Saturday, Sept. 28th

• Fundraiser for the entire music department.
• Teams of students go door-to-door throughout the
  CVHS community seeking donations for the entire
  music department.
• Traditionally the largest fundraiser for the
  band.
• Many volunteers critical to the success of the
  day.
• The music department divides the proceeds from
  Tag Day based on the participation ratio among
  band, orchestra, choir and guitar volunteers.
  The higher the ratio of band participation, the
  more the band will benefit. Parent volunteers
  count!

Volunteers

• Parent volunteers are critical to the success of
  the band program.
• Excellent way to share some fun experiences
  near your students (they may not want you
  with them!) and connect with the school in a
  meaningful way.
• Please consider helping in some way by
  volunteering for at least three events during the
  marching season and beyond.
• Satisfaction guaranteed! If you dont enjoy
  working in a particular area, try something else!

Coordinators Needed!

• We really need two individuals to serve as
  coordinators for Pit Crew and Tag Day!
• If youve participated in Pit or Tag Day before,
  youre ready!
• Pit Crew Coordinator is primarily responsible for
  arranging for and loading/unloading the truck at
  competitions
• Tom Landwermeyer took this role last year and
  left us a long list of notes on where to
  go/whats needed, so youll have a strong
  starting point
• Tag Day Coordinator works with other coordinators
  (orchestra, chorus, guitar) to prepare for Tag
  Day
• Cathy Dettmer performed this role for us last
  year and is available to help with advice and
  guidance
• Tag Day planning will be starting soon, so we
  really need help here!
• Please consider volunteering for one of these
  positions! We could really use your help here!

  band student.

  Foods

  Sears, JCPenny
