Trash Bag Fundraiser
In an effort to give students and families an avenue to help defray the costs of marching band, winter drumline, and winter guard, the TWBB sells trash bags as a year-round fundraiser.
Students may turn trash bag orders into Mrs. Hewitt at any time throughout the year. Each roll produces a $3.50 profit for your student. These funds will go into their individual account and will be applied to the following fees in order of priority as listed:
Fair Share Fees
Shoes, Uniform/Parade Shirt/Pep Band Shirt, Accessories, Instrument
Theme shirts
Theme shirts for family
Spirit Wear
(For example: once your fair share is collected then any additional funds raised would then go toward shoes, uniforms, etc.)
Any money left over in your student's account may be carried over to the next season your student participates in. If your student graduates, those funds will be placed back into the TWBB general account, or may go towards an active sibling's acount.
Trash bag order forms are available on the Booster page under forms. The students will need to obtain the orders, collect the money (orders need to be prepaid), pick up and deliver the trash bags that have been ordered. The trash bags sell for $10 a roll. Once the order is completed, $3.50 per roll sold will be credited to the student’s account. You may communicate with the TWBB treasurer at any time to check account balances.
All student fees cover only 1/3 of the total expenses for each season. The TWBB relies on corporate sponsors and other group fundraising activities to defray the major costs. This is what allows the students to participate in these programs at such a discounted rate.
Order forms can be turned into Mrs. Hewitt or mailed to TWBB, P.O. Box 161, Pittsboro, IN, 46167. Once your order has been received and filled, you may pick up the order from Mrs. Hewitt.
Checks should be made out to TWBB or Tri-West Band Boosters, in blue or black ink.
