Weekend Newsletter March 31st

Dear Families,

We need your careful attention to unpaid and ignored student invoices. You can see how hard our HBBC board works with volunteers to raise money to meet all additional needs of the band. Your commitments to band fees are an important part of the music educational opportunities afforded your students in this program.

Please review your unpaid balances and if you have questions, we ask that you please contact our treasurer to discuss your payment commitments and to work out a plan.

1. 18% of fees and items are still outstanding in Presto, which doesn’t sound like a lot, but it adds up to an impactful amount
2. If these fees are not paid, we can’t meet our budget. If we don’t meet our budget, it may be necessary to increase fees next year
3. 100 people owe less than $100 – Check your account and clear all fees and items. Presto makes this easy.
4. Good financial standing means your account is clear or you have set up a payment plan with the Student Accounts Treasurer
5. If you are not in good financial standing with HBBC, you may not attend the banquet, prom or receive graduation tickets
6. We continue to pay our dedicated and wonderful clinicians for this year and in preparation for next year
7. The longer it takes for you to pay what is owed, the more work and time you add to our volunteer treasurers, in communication and financial analysis updates

We are nearing the end of the school year and it is past time to fulfill your obligations.

Budgeted income is comprised of these areas:

• 39% General Band Fee Income and carryover
• 40% Fundraising
• 21% all other Student paid fees (items billed in Presto)

We can’t offer the same high quality program without all of these areas meeting their goals along with all open fees AND each student meeting your individual fundraising goal of $450!

NOTE:

We still have fundraisers where students can earn their committed fundraising goal.

We appreciate your help so that we can continue to serve ALL students.

Clean out your closets and donate your old spiritwear for GARAGE SALE!

Have you been cleaning out your closets and have no idea what to do with the huge amount of Hebron Band spirit wear you have from previous years?

We would love to take it off your hands (and out of your closets) and show it off again! Spirit wear is announcing the opening of Vintage Spirit Store at the Garage Sale on April 13th. Please consider donating any and all gently used spirit wear in order to stock our store!

Contact Jessica Kilgore at spiritwear@hebronband.org to coordinate drop off/pickup. Thank you!

The Hebron Band Golf Tournament is coming up on May 31st. This is our biggest fundraiser of the spring with the potential to bring in more money than mattresses, butter braids and mulch combined! However, it will not be successful without your help.

Please reach out and invite golfers to sign-up with their friends. This is VERY important for the day to be successful!

We are looking for Sponsors and Silent Auction Donations. See the attached Sponsor information package and the NEW Silent Auction Donation Request Form links. below.

Go to volunteer central and sign-up to help!

We are asking that every student find one donation for the silent auction from a community business. Ask a business that you frequently support. See attached letters and information that you can give businesses when asking for donations/sponsorships.

See the attached to our Sponsor information package and the NEW Silent Auction Donation Request Form.

"WHY ARE WE DOING SO MUCH FUNDRAISING? I AM TIRED OF SELLING THINGS AND WORKING FUNDRAISING EVENTS!!!"

Did you know that 35% of our operating budget comes from fundraising? That is $350,000!! We raise money through sponsorships, spirit nights, fundraising events like the Golf Tournament and Garage Sale, and through sales (poinsettias, mattresses, butter braids, and cookie dough, etc.). These fundraising activities help to offset operating costs of our elite band program. If we remove fundraising income, band fees would increase by $1,000 per student.

We have made very good progress with fundraising this year. Our spring goal is $100,000 because we need to meet our operating budget AND start saving money for much needed trailer updates and repairs. Getting our equipment and props to our contests is a MUST!!!

Thank you for your continued support and effort.

“I can’t stand Texas Roadhouse’s freshly baked rolls,” said NO ONE EVER!!!!

Come dine in or order take out so YOU can enjoy these delicious, warm, freshly baked rolls (along with all their other yummy food) on Monday, April 8th, from 4-9 pm at 4125 State HWy 121 in The Colony and the band will get 10% back! Hope to see you there!
