The annual Winter Dinner, Concert, and (new this year!) Raffle is set for Tuesday evening, February 8, 2011. 

Here is a complete run-down on the event:
Tuesday, Feb 8th, you get the opportunity to hear our Taylor Band students perform AND enjoy a lovely catered dinner provided by Spring Creek Barbeque.  The dinner is served in the Taylor High School commons continuously from 5:00 – 7:30 pm.  Yes, it’s a fundraiser, but an easy one! You purchase a $12.00 dinner ($6.00 for children age 6 and under) and you enjoy yummy food and to listen to as many bands perform as you’d like. Simply retain your dinner / concert ticket for admission to the PAC.  Please note that this is the only concert your children perform which requires you to purchase a ticket.  This is a wonderful opportunity for you to invite friends and neighbors to enjoy some good food and hear your students perform.

Prior to the event the band directors post a suggested sequence for each band for the evening. For example, the JV band performs prior to eating their dinner while the Wind Ensemble eats prior to their performance.
Click here to see the preferred schedule for your child’s band. You may arrange to eat with your student or not. (Many times the band students prefer to eat with their friends.)

Band performances begin at 6 pm. Be sure to treat yourself to some yummy desserts at the bake sale, too.  Take the opportunity to look over the great items in the Raffle and put your tickets into the appropriate boxes for the drawings later in the evening.  Besides supporting Taylor Band, this event provides you a great opportunity to hang around with the parents of your kids' band friends.


Click here for the ticket order form.  Simply return the form, with your payment, to the band hall safe by Feb 1st

As usual, it takes lots of Taylor Band parents hands behind the scenes to pull off this big event. So, if you are able to spare an hour or two that evening, here are some opportunities for you to serve. The order form includes a few areas where we're recruiting helpers. If you have questions about these service opportunities, here are the contacts:

New this year –- instead of our usual silent auction, we'll have a raffle! 
$1 raffle tickets will be sold by the Band Boosters for all of the fabulous donated items!  Raffle tickets may be pre-ordered with your dinner tickets and/or purchased on the night of the dinner.  You do not have to be present to win a raffle item, but the tickets must be placed into the entry boxes for each raffle item that night.  The raffle drawings will be held at the end of the evening.

We've already received some fabulous items to be raffled.  We extend very special thanks to the businesses and band families for these wonderful donations! 
Look for these items and their raffle entry boxes in the foyer to the Taylor PAC on the evening of Feb. 8:
