Congratulations, Marching Band members, for an outstanding season. The band came home from Florida after being the featured performers on Main Street in front of the Magic
Kingdom on Friday, November 1 st and competing Saturday in the “2002 Showcase of Champions”. The magical trip was topped off by an emotional performance of this year’s show and the band brought home 14 awards for their efforts.
The awards included superiors with distinction for drum major, music, brass and woodwinds. Superior performance awards were received for percussion, color guard, marching, and general effect. The band won third place overall in their class at the preliminaries and qualified for the final competition where they placed 6 th overall in the statewide competition.
Special congratulations go to Holly Howington for winning best drum major in the class and for being selected as the best field conductor for the entire competition with her outstanding finals performance.
This season the band won a total of 33 awards, including two grand championship titles. Outstanding!

If you buy groceries, you have an opportunity to earn money for your fair share and for the band. Be sure to take advantage of these easy fundraisers:
Grocery store certificates are a no cost way to earn fair share.
You write a check or pay cash for $100 and you get $100 worth of grocery certificates in your choice of $10 or $20 denominations. Kroger, Food Lion and Winn Dixie are the participating stores at this time. With the purchase of the certificates, at least 5% of the total amount purchased goes to your student’s fair share. For example, is you buy $100 per week for 52 weeks, you’ll earn $260 fair share for the year.
You can purchase certificates for family and friends, also.
Some students have earned substantial amounts by selling certificates to neighbors and family. Just call Susan Shelley to place your order and arrange pickup. Leave a message if necessary..
If you shop at Harris Teeter, you can direct 2% of your Harris
Teeter private label purchases to the Sanderson Band Program.
Simply register the band’s account number, 5114 , with your
Harris Teeter VIC card at the checkout register. It is simple to set up (less than 10 seconds) and it will help raise money for our band and our instruments. Note: if you previously registered your VIC card with another organization, the 2% contribution will be split between the band and the other organization.
