Fruit orders

A reminder that all fruit orders and money are due tomorrow (Tuesday Nov. 30). We need to sell as many of these as possible so that we can afford a trailer to carry equipment next year. I really appreciate your hard work!

Fruit Fundraiser

We kicked off the Fruit Fundraiser during class today. Everyone student should have at least one order form and a goal in mind. I am asking that each student try to sell $265 worth of fruit. It is important that we do well on this fundraiser as most, if not all, of the money will be going toward purchasing a large enclosed trailer to transport equipment to games, competitions, parades, etc. To help motivate the students, I am initiating 2 competitions for this fundraiser:

1) An individual competition - 1st place individual sales (dollar amount) gets $30 cash. 2nd place gets $20, and 3rd place gets $10.
2) A team competition - the Band is split into 5 teams of 9 members. The team that sells the most dollar amount of fruit gets a pizza party.

Here is the price list in case you need to double check:
Large Grapefruit $25
Small Grapefuit $17
Large Navels $25
Small Navels $18
