The indoor concession stand at EHS
is our primary fundraising tool?!
is our primary fundraising tool?!
By staffing and managing the concession stand for almost every indoor sporting events, we have been able to save money and purchase new equipment, new and used instruments, marching band uniforms, and a trailer in the past few years. In addition to purchases, we've also been able to provide for our students in other ways:
- When our students perform in the middle school and high school pep bands, many of them will stay after school. That makes for a VERY long day! We decided about 5 years ago to feed the high school pep band after half time. They receive an entree, a snack, and a drink for free from the concession stand. There are normally 40-45 students in the group. Think about the amount of money we spend to feed them.
- We are able to keep our marching band fees lower than most of the other marching bands in our area due to the profits we receive from our concession stand.
-In addition to worrying about staffing, don't forget we have to purchase supplies, track inventory, track volunteer hours, and make sure everyone is up to date on training.
