Two Additional low maintenance ways to help the band:

Test Drive a Ford????

On October 10th the local Ford Dealership (Electric City Ford/Mazda) will donate $20.00 to the Hanna Band for every person who will test drive a car. Drivers must be 18 or older and only one person per family will qualify. Please mark this date and help us to get drivers for this easy fund-raiser.

I Give Web Site

www.igive.com

This is a shopping site that features a large number of familiar and brand name online stores.

Everyone can find a store on this site that they have shopped at previously. If you register on this site and select the T.L. Hanna band as your “cause”, the I Give site will donate a percentage of the sale to the band at no additional cost.

You will be very surprised at the number and the quality of stores that are included in this site.

IF YOU HAVE NOT YET PAID BAND FEES, PLEASE SEND THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WE ARE TRYING TO CLEAR UP ALL FEES, BEFORE THE FRUIT SALE. PLEASE NOTIFY US IF THERE ARE ANY CONCERNS OR IF WE CAN BE OF ASSISTANCE WITH THIS.

Congratulations to Hanna Band Senior, Kashayla Bennett who was selected to the 2009 Homecoming Court!

Band Students may select to have Power Hour Tutoring on Wednesday any week. Please see Mrs. Anthony if you have questions. This day is set aside especially for Band Members due to our rehearsal schedule.
