Please remember the band booster meeting tomorrow night 6pm at the
bandroom.
Agenda:
Ms G - if she has anything to discuss (I've been asked if you happen to
have an updated calendar for spring events)
We have also received a request from the music fraternity at UNM to
participate in a fundraiser with them in April. They will be attending
the meeting to give us details on the event so we can decide if we will
participate. See below. I did discuss that our best fundraisers are when
we can involve other folks to purchase items in addition the our band
members and their families.
Overview of the March 31 - April 2 Band trip and expenses
Discussion of identifying folks to shadow leaders next year so there
will be a smooth transition after 2018.
My name is Annie Jane Burns, and I am the Treasurer and fundraising
coordinator for the Kappa Kappa Psi, Gamma Iota Chapter at UNM. We have
met before, and a couple members of our chapter came and played with you
guys for your football game Ryan invited us to, and we also helped you
guys out at the APS band exhibition!
Kappa Kappa Psi is a National Honorary Co-Ed Band Service Fraternity. We
are an organization that primarily operates in the field of the
university band programs by providing service and leadership
opportunities to the ensembles and their members. We also do work
outside of ourselves and in the community and one of our primary goals
is to help out the local high school band programs.
We are interested in doing a marketplace fundraiser with your band
program. The goal of this is to raise money to support both of our
organizations. A marketplace is where a bunch of different vendors come
together and sell their goods. We collect part of their profits from the
day (5-10%) and then they also pay a small booth fee to set up. We would
split the profits 75/25, the 75 going to your band. This has been used
at other schools here and it is successful and we would like to try
implementing it because we want to help your guys program as well. In
terms of a location, we were wondering if there was a possibility to
host the marketplace in Highland gymnasium, if this doesn’t work, we can
look into other possibilities. Kappa Kappa Psi would be in charge of
finding vendors, securing deposits, and coordinating music between our
chapter and your band (us learning your guys’ music and other pieces we
both agree on). I also have a form already that can be used and sent out
to vendors, and it also makes us and your band program exempt from
liability issues. Besides offering a possible location to host, your
program would only be in charge of helping to find a few vendors also.
We would love to come to a Booster meeting to present this and answer
any further questions. We believe this fundraiser will not only be fun,
but mutually beneficial to both organizations. Please let me, and the
rest of us here know what you think of this proposal. Feel free to email
me back at: ajburns at unm.edu or you could call at (360)788-3078!
Thank you so much,
Annie Jane Burns
