Hope everybody is ready for a great Spring Break!

Here’s what you need to know this week.
It was another busy week for our Band students! It was great to see and hear our Concert Band students perform at the Mock LGPE concert, and guest clinician Vincent Rosse was amazing! We also appreciate all the parents who came to the Mattress Fundraiser Kickoff Meeting, where we learned about how we can earn some much-needed funds by simply advertising throughout our community.
Please note: We will NOT have a newsletter on Sunday, April 3 due to Spring Break, so you will hear from us again on Sunday, April 10. We hope all of our band families have a WONDERFUL and safe Spring Break!!
Actions for This Week…
Mattress Fundraiser
We need funds for music, clinicians and instrument repairs (among other things!), and the Mattress Fundraiser scheduled for April 30 is our big fundraiser for the Spring. All you have to do is advertise! HERE IS HOW YOU CAN HELP! 1. WATCH THIS VIDEO (dunwoodybands.us18.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5e6dcb1443502b7d964068adb&id=960a41ab88&e=7294eeb7f3) about the Mattress Fundraiser. Mattress at the sale will be name brand (ex: Simmons Beautyrest) and priced lower than retail! 2. CLICK on the Facebook Fundraiser and select “GOING”, “INVITE” their friends and “SHARE” our posts. dunwoodybands.us18.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5e6dcb1443502b7d964068adb&id=5620dc2d15&e=7294eeb7f3 (dunwoodybands.us18.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5e6dcb1443502b7d964068adb&id=94e18094d4&e=7294eeb7f3) Share on your Facebook Page, your neighborhood facebook page, and any groups you are a part of. Get the word out! Here is a sample blurb you copy and paste: Are you in the market for a new mattress? Next month, we are turning the DHS cafeteria into a Mattress Store, featuring name brand mattresses (ex: Simmons BeautyRest) at prices lower than retail. If you decide to order, a brand new mattress will be delivered to your home in about 3 weeks. It sounds like a crazy fundraiser, but its a win-win, you get a quality mattress at a good price, and the Dunwoody Band Program raises funds to buy music and instruments for our kiddos. Click below for details! It’s worth stopping by if you need a new mattress, pillow, mattress pads, etc. dunwoodybands.us18.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5e6dcb1443502b7d964068adb&id=8eb5dddc3c&e=7294eeb7f3 (dunwoodybands.us18.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5e6dcb1443502b7d964068adb&id=30366e1ddf&e=7294eeb7f3) 3. ASK your student to bring home some fliers and yard signs – Ms. Caputo has plenty in the band room! Put the sign in your yard, at a local high traffic business (with permission), at the entrance to your neighborhood or pool/tennis club, at your church or synagogue, anywhere where the community will see them.
