The award-winning White Knoll High School Timberwolf Marching Band will be providing a parade for a few of the area neighborhoods on Saturday, August 9th.
This is an opportunity for us to entertain some of our fans and neighbors and to raise funds for the 2014-2015 school year. Oh, and we will have a little fun, too!
Information packets and pledge sheets will be distributed at band rehearsal on July 15th, or you can download the Marchathon packet here. Please get out and get pledges/donations from friends and families!
The White Knoll community is going to be very excited about this event! This is a great opportunity to raise money for the band and show our community what the WKHS band is all about.
THE ROUTE: The band will meet at the school and travel to South Lexington Baptist Church. There we will begin our 5 mile trek. We will parade down Lexington Hills Parkway through portions of the Spring Knoll neighborhood including Ridgelaw Circle and Double Eagle Lane. Once we finish that leg of our journey, and take a quick water break, we will load buses and travel to Longs Pond Estates. At the conclusion of the route, we will return to WKHS where lunch will be provided to the students and volunteers.
CONCERTS: For a minimum donation of $100, the entire WKHS Marching Band will provide a lawn concert for individual houses or cul-de-sacs along the route (list of songs will be provided). Students will help “sell” concerts in the weeks before the parade and special signs will be placed at concert locations.
STUDENT FUNDRAISING: The first $50 that each student raises will go into the general band fund to support the band as a whole. All money that the students raise beyond $50 will go into students’ individual fundraising accounts. It is quite possible that each student could raise enough money during the March-a-thon to pay for their band fees. All band members are asked to raise a minimum of $50. If a student chooses not to ask for pledges, he/she has the option of covering his/her share through a buyout. This simply means that the student would personally pay $50 to cover his/her obligation
MANDATORY ACTIVITY: All the members of the band are required to participate in the March-a-thon. If a student does not participate on the day of the March-a-thon, he/she will be assigned alternative activities at the discretion of the directors. For an unexcused absence, 8 hours of community service for the band will be required. Regardless of participation on the day of the March-a-thon, ALL students are asked to raise a minimum of $50 through donations/pledges.
