Looking for something to do on a Monday night? Come out to the Alamo on December 13th to see the new Ghostbusters - Afterlife movie! Tickets are $10 and all proceeds will go to the band. A special "Warrior Meal" will be available for purchase. CLICK HERE to get your ticket before its sold out! This event is open to the public, please go to the Sherando Band Booster Facebook page and share.   Join us this Thursday, 12/09 to enjoy the Winter Concert in the SHS auditorium. Students need to arrive at 5:30pm. The concert will begin at 7pm.
As tradition every year, please bring cookies to share (homemade or store bought) and enjoy hot cocoa, apple cider and cookies after the performance. There is no charge for refreshments. A 50/50 raffle will be held.  The Band Boosters & students have been putting on this event for 13 years now and it has proven to be our largest fundraiser! The idea behind this is to provide a safe environment for our area families and their little ones to dress up in costume, trick or treat and play games. We charge children ages 1-12 a small admission fee that gives them full access to the haunted hallway, bounce house, face paint, crafts & all games for as long as they want.
All games are put on by our very own band students in costume with candy to pass out as prizes. We literally transform an entire hallway into a haunted hallway! We decorate areas of the commons and student entrance, have a concessions stand and students with parents set up a craft table, face painting station, cake walk & a bouncy house. Students have a signup sheet in the band room for the haunted hallway, face painting, crafts and game stations. All of these stations/areas need parents & students to run them. We can not stress enough how much help & donations are needed to truly make this a success. It takes hours and hours from students and volunteers to transform the school for this. We also need help building the haunted hallway. This is quite the task. We are looking for a team of handy volunteers to help build this unique set up in the front hall at the school on Saturday, 10/30. Time TBD. Bring your tools! Please take a moment to see if there is something you may want to help with or if you are busy that day a donation would be greatly appreciated. Non-perishable doantions can be dropped off at in band room anytime prior to Sunday 10/31.

CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP TO HELP WITH UNIFORMS Donations for Band Camp FRUIT: During band camp we serve fruit at lunch for the first week and take trays of fruit to the field for the students breaks twice a day all 10 days... This is a lot of work and fruit! We have roughly 130 students this year plus staff!! Again, unfortunately this year we do not have access to the school cafeteria, freezer or fridge. This is making it hard to plan lunches as well as fruit cutting and storage for taking fruit to the field. We have access to a very small kitchen and small fridge with freezer. So, we are looking for fruit donations that do not have to be cut up. Ex: apples, oranges, bananas, grapes, strawberries, pre-cut watermelon slices, Freezie Pops, etc. We also need lots of volunteers to get the fruit out to the field twice a day, please see link above in volunteer section. Pool Party Every year during band camp we like to throw the band students a private pool/pizza party to help cool them down and hang with their fellow friends to unwind. This is FREE and WELCOME to ALL band students! This year we are having it in the middle of the band camp weeks again instead of at the end of camp. To be held on Friday, August 6th from 7:00pm-11:00pm at the Sherando Pool. There will be lifeguards & chaperones. The band boosters will be providing pizza and drinks. The students are encouraged to bring a side dish or dessert to share with the group. You do not have to swim..feel free to play corn hole, bring a volleyball for the nets, football, cards, ect.
